Rufus Wainwright – Sonnet 29 (Ukulele)

D           Em         Asus4             A
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

D       Em    A               D
I all alone beweep my outcast state

D                Em     Asus4            A
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

D          Em   A                 D
And look upon myself and curse my fate,

D Em Asus4 A
Mmm...

D Em A D
Mmm...

D          Am7     Em7              A7
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

D             Am7       Em7                  A
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,

D        Am7        Em7                A7
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

D           Am7    Em7           D
With what I most enjoy contented least;

D            Em         Asus4           A
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

D       Em       A                 D
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

D           Em      Asus4          A
Like to the lark at break of day arising

D           Em           A                 D
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

    D   Em    D    Em         C D   A     D
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

D    D7     Em       A      A7  D    G     D
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
