[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

F                        G
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
[Verse 2] (same as Verse 1 but spoken till line 48)
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

Often no wiser than he began

And nothing is given to man
