Chords with lyrics
Alfie (Bacharach- David) From the 1966 Michael Caine Film This is as I hear the song as recorded in 1966 by Cilla Black and Burt Bacharach There is not much difference in the arrangement between the Cilla and the Dionne Version apart from their individual styles and abilities. Cilla, despite being challenged by the song, does a better version in my opinion as her vulnerability suits the film better, Dionne is too polished and comfortable. Verse 1 BbMaj9Bbmaj9 Cm7/F What is it all about, Alfie? BbMaj9Bbmaj9 Gm7Gm7 Dm7Dm7 G7G7 Is it just for the moment we live? Cm9Cm9 Cm7/F Dm7Dm7 Gm7Gm7 What is it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Cm7Cm7 EdimEdim add A augmentedA Or, are we meant to take more than we give, Cm7Cm7 Cm7/F or are we meant to be kind? F9F9 F9aug5 And if, Verse 2 BbMaj9Bbmaj9 Cm7/F only fools are kind, Alfie, BbMaj9Bbmaj9 Gm7Gm7 Dm7Dm7 G7G7 Then I guess it is wise to be cruel. Cm9Cm9 Cm7/F Dm7Dm7 Gm7Gm7 And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie, Cm7Cm7 EdimEdim add A augmentedA what will you lend on an old golden rule? Bridge Am7Am7 E minor 7Em7 Fm6Fm6 Gm7Gm7 Am7Am7 Gm9Gm9 C13C13 (=Bbmaj7/C) As sure as I believe there is a heaven above, Alfie, Am7Am7 E minor 7Em7 Fm6Fm6 I know there is something much more, Gm7Gm7 Cm7Cm7 Cm7/F F9F9 F9aug5 something even non-believers can believe in. End BbMaj9Bbmaj9 Cm7/F I believe in love, Alfie. Em7dim5 Eb9Eb9 Dm7Dm7 Gm7Gm7 Without true love we just exist, Alfie. Em7dim5 Eb9Eb9 Dm7Dm7 Gm7Gm7 C7C7 C9C9 Arpeggio Until you find the love you have missed you are nothing, Alfie. Cm7Cm7 EdimEdim When you walk let your heart lead the way Cm7Cm7 EdimEdim Bb7dim9 Cm6Cm6 Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
