Alfie
Words & Music by Hal David & Burt Bacharach
Recorded by Dionne Warwick, 1967
AM7 Bm7-5 AM7 Dalt D9
What's it all about, Al - fie?
Bm7-5 AM7 Cdim F#m C#m7-5 F#7
Is it just for the moment we live?
Bm7 Cdim AM7 F#m7
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
D9 Bm7-5 Cdim Fdim
Are we meant to take more than we give?
Bm7-5 D9 Bm7 E7/9
Or are we meant to be kind?
Cdim E7/9 AM7 Bm7-5 AM7 Dalt D9
And if only fools are kind, Al - fie,
Bm7-5 AM7 Cdim F#m C#m7-5 F#7
Then I guess that it's wise to be cruel;
Bm7 Cdim AM7 F#m7
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
D9 Bm7 Cdim Bm7-5 G#7
What will you lend on an old Gol - den Rule?
G#m7 Gdim Am7 F#m7 B7 C#7
As sure as I believe there's a Heaven above, Alfie,
G#m7 Gdim Am7
I know there's something much more,
F#m7 D9 Cdim Bm7-5 E7/9 Fdim
Something even non-believers can believe in.
AM7 Bm7-5 AM7 Dalt D
I believe in love, Al - fie;
D9 Bm7-5 Fdim AM7 C#m7-5 F#m
Without true love, we just exist, Al - fie;
D9 Bm7-5 Fdim AM7 G#7 F#m7 Fdim B7
Until you find the love you missed, you're noth - ing, Al - fie;
D9 Bm7-5 Cdim E7/9
When you walk, let your heart lead the way,
D9 Bm7-5 E7/9 E7 Cdim AM7
And you'll find love any day, Al - fie...Al - fie.
