[Intro]
Am   Em   Dm
[Verse 1]
AmBlack death is here and I’m starting to fear
My world will Emcome undone
My son HDmamlet is dead with sores on his head
He’s not the oAmnly one
I’ve written plays galore on the stage they will soar
But the thEmeatre’s closed
DmBring out your dead they are starting to spread
Death to eAmveryone
[Chorus]
CWill I live to write another plGayAm  
Or will I just slip into my gGraveC  
When I die will I see my son aGgainAm  
Or when I am dead is my life GdoneAm  
[Verse 2]
I’m stealing stories to write things you’ll like
From the DeEmcamoron
DmAll’s well that ends well but I’m starting to tell
This isn’t mAmuch fun
A merchant in Venice heard I Emlost my son
He said it’s sDmafe with him in a country inn
Away from eAmveryone
[Chorus]
CWill I live to write another plGayAm  
Or will I just slip into my gGraveC  
When I die will I see my son aGgainAm  
Or when I am dead is my life Gdone

[Intro]

Am Em Dm

[Verse 1]

Black death is here and I’m starting to fear

My world will come undone

My son Hamlet is dead with sores on his head

He’s not the only one

I’ve written plays galore on the stage they will soar

But the theatre’s closed

Bring out your dead they are starting to spread

Death to everyone

[Chorus]

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

From the Decamoron

All’s well that ends well but I’m starting to tell

This isn’t much fun

A merchant in Venice heard I lost my son

He said it’s safe with him in a country inn

Away from everyone

[Chorus]

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

Or when I am dead is my life done
