I used to take delight in my 'baccy and strong beer
  D MajorD                         C majorC
I'd blow the smoke rings way up high, watch them disappear

I've met with poor men who were kings and rich men who were slaves
     G+G                         C majorC
And I've knelt beneath the spires and I've heard some holy men
D MajorD                       G+G
Bend the words to fit the world as it seems to them
