[Intro] G  B7  C  A7
        G  B7  Em  A7  D7

         G                 B7
That's life, that's what all the people say
         Em                 A7
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
       G              B7            Em
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
          A7                          D7
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

         G            B7
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
  Em                         A7
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
    G             B7        Em
But I don't let it get me down
             A7                                   D7
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around

            G                                      G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
          C                                Cm
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
      A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
        D7
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

        G             B7
That's life, oh, and I can't deny it
       Em                                    A7
Many times I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart won't buy it
       G                B7                   Em
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
           A7                            D7
Well, I'd on a big bird and then I'd fly

            G                                            G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, oh, and a king
          C                                Cm
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
      A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
       D7
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

        Ab           C7
That's life, oh, and I can't deny it
      Fm                                     Bb
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
       Ab                     C7                 Fm
And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
                  Bb                               Eb
Well, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

         Ab           C7
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
  Fm                         Bb
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
    Ab            C7        Fm
But I don't let it get me down
             Bb                                   Ab
'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around
