Paul Kelly – Sonnet 18 (Ukulele)

     Am     G              Am       G 
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 

 Am             G              Am       
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

                 G                Am      G
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

     Am                  G              Am   
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 

     G                       Am
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

     G                            Am
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; 

           G                 Am       G 
And every fair from fair sometime declines,

     Am                   G                 Am       
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;

     G                            Am
But thy eternal summer shall not fade

     G                                 Am
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

            G                               Am
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

          Em                        Em7
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; 

    Am               G        Am         G
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

    Am                    G                |  Am
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
