BEGGAR'S SONG

As recorded by Thin Lizzy

(From the 1971 Album THIN LIZZY - DELUXE EDITION)

Tune down 1/2 step

Intro

[E] [A] [E] [A] [E]

Verse 1

[A] [D] [Dm] [Bm]

Most of my life I have lived here on my own

[C#m] [Bm]

Except for a few occasions

[A] [D] [Bm]

Now I’ve got to find myself a home

[C#m] [E]

For a family I’ll be raisin’

Chorus

[A] [F#m] [E]

And it’s hard to stay so sane, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

But who am I to complain, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir

Verse 2

[A] [D] [Dm]

I can remember when younger

[Bm] [C#m] [Bm]

A kid at school, they used to call a fool

[A] [D]

And I no longer but stronger

[Bm] [C#m] [B]

I’m still the same fool; God, it’s goddamn cruel

Chorus

[A] [F#m] [E]

And it’s hard to stay so sane, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

But who am I to complain, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir

[Guitar Solo]

[A] [G] [F#m] [D]

[Bm] [C#m] [Bm]

[A] [D] [Bm]

[C#m] [Bm] [E]

Chorus

[A] [F#m] [E]

And it’s hard to stay so sane, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

But who am I to complain, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir

Bridge

[A] [D]

I had a dog once, a good dog

[Bm]

Now it’s dead

[E] [A] [Bm]

He’s the bottom, he’s the beggar

[A]

Over the hills I go

[D] [Bm] [C#m] [Bm]

Swinging high

Chorus

[A] [F#m] [E]

And it’s hard to stay so sane, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

But who am I to complain, sir

[A] [F#m] [E]

And I wonder, can you spare some change, sir

[Post-Chorus]

[A] [F#m] [E]

’Cause I’m feeling kinda down in my pocket, sir

[A]

And I’m not a proud man

[F#m]

Not a proud man

[E]

Not a proud man

[A]

I’m beggin’

[A]

I’m beggin’

[F#m] [E]

I’m askin’ to you, even you

[A] [F#m] [E]

'Cause I’m feeling kinda down in my heart, sir

[A]

And I don’t know what to do

[F#m] [E]

I’m feelin’ so blue

[A] [F#m] [E] [A]

And I’m beggin’ you

[F#m]

Beggin’ you

[E]

Beggin’ you

Outro

[A] [F#m] [E]

And I don’t know if my heart wants to stay, it’s right

[A] [F#m]

But I’m feelin’ so sick and sore

[E]

And I need some money, praying tonight

[A] [F#m] [E]

Don’t you know

[A] [F#m] [E]

So, brother
