[Intro]
C Am Em Em Dm G

[Verse 1]
C Am
Be not too hard for life is short
Dm G
And nothing is given to man
C Am
Be not too hard when he is sold or bought
Dm G
For he must manage as best he can
C Am
Be not too hard when he blindly dies
F G
Fighting for things he does not own
C Am
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Dm G
Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone
Am Em
Be not too hard for soon he'll die

Often no wiser than he began
C Am
Be not too hard for life is short
Dm G C
And nothing is given to man
