No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
FGGsus4-G
Round your throne room floor
Gm7
While the juggler's act is danced upon
A7sus4ADm7G/D
The crown that you once wore
Dm7GG/G
And sooner or later
FGGsus4-G
Everybody's kingdom must end
Gm7
And I'm so afraid your courtiers
A7sus4ADm7
Cannot be called best friends
G
Caesar's had your troubles
DmCDmC-Dm
Widows had to cry
G
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
(ch)E7/G#(/ch) Asus4 A7
And the king must die

Dm7GG/G
Some men are better staying sailors
FGGsus4-G
Take my word and go
Gm7
But tell the ostler that his name was
A7sus4ADmG/D
The very first they chose
Dm7GG/G
And if my hands are stained forever
FGGsus4-G
And the altar should refuse me
Gm7
Would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in
A7sus4ADm7
Should I cry sanctuary
G
