Lucas Burnham - Shakespeare

Intro: Am   Em   Dm 

verse 1 
Am 
Black death is here and I’m starting to fear 
              Em 
My world will come undone 
        Dm 
My son Hamlet is dead with sores on his head 
              Am 
He’s not the only one 

I’ve written plays galore on the stage they will soar 
          Em 
But the theatre’s closed 
Dm 
Bring out your dead they are starting to spread 
          Am 
Death to everyone 


[Refrão]
 
C                              G    Am 
Will I live to write another play 
                             G       C 
Or will I just slip into my grave 
                              G      Am 
When I die will I see my son again 
                             G        Am 
Or when I am dead is my life done 

verse 2 

I’m stealing stories to write things you’ll like 
           Em 
From the Decamoron 
Dm 
All’s well that ends well but I’m starting to tell 
            Am 
This isn’t much fun 
                             Em 
A merchant in Venice heard I lost my son 
              Dm 
He said it’s safe with him in a country inn 
           Am 
Away from everyone

C                              G    Am 
Will I live to write another play 
                             G       C 
Or will I just slip into my grave 
                              G      Am 
When I die will I see my son again 
                             G 
Or when I am dead is my life done
