Introdução: A7M Bm5-/7 A7M  D7M  E7/9-  
 
A7M     Bm5-/7 A7M   D7M   D9  
What's it all about, Alfie 
Bm5-/7  A7M  Cdim    F#m      C#m5-/7 F#7 
Is it just for the moment we live 
       Bm7       Cdim         A7M     F#m7 
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie 
D9         Bm5-/7        Cdim    Fdim 
Are we meant to take more than we give 
Bm5-/7   D9       Bm7   E7/9 
Or   are we meant to be kind 
Cdim E7/9          A7M    Bm5-/7     A7M D7M D9 
And   if  only fools are kind, Alfie, 
Bm5-/7   A7M  Cdim        F#m        C#m5-/7 F#7 
Then I guess that it's wise to be cruel 
   Bm7          Cdim          A7M       F#m7 
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie 
  D9      Bm7      Cdim  Bm5-/7      G#7 
What will you lend on an old  Golden Rule 
 G#m7      Gdim       Am7     F#m7      B7     C#7         
As sure as I  believe there's a heaven above, Alfie 
  G#m7             Gdim     Am7   
I know there's something much more 
F#m7       D9     Cdim  Bm5-/7  E7/9 Fdim 
Something even non believers can believe in 
A7M   Bm5-/7 A7M  D7M   D 
I   believe  in  love,  Alfie 
D9       Bm5-/7     Fdim   A7M C#m5-/7 F#m 
Without true love, we just exist,  Alfie 
D9     Bm5-/7   Fdim    A7M         G#7   F#m7  Fdim   B7 
Until you find the love you missed, you're nothing, Alfie 
D9     Bm5-/7            Cdim          E7/9 
When you walk, let your heart lead the way 
  D9       Bm5-/7     E7/9   E7 Cdim A7M 
And you'll find love any day, Alfie   Alfie
