What's it all  a-bout, Al-fie?
+6 -6  +6  +4  -7  -6  -3  +4  -4
Is it just for the mom-ent we live?
  +5   +6 +8  +7  +7  
What's it all  a-bout 
 -8  +7   -7  +7 -8   +6 +6
when you sort it out, Al-fie?
-6  -4  +5   -5  +6  -6    -6  -8  -7 
Are we meant to take more than we give 
+7 -6  -4  +5   -5 +6  -6
or are we meant to be kind? 
-6  -6 +6 -5  +5   -5   +6   -5 +7
And if on-ly fools are kind, Al-fie,
 +6 -6  +6   +4    -6  -3 +4  -4
then I guess it's wise to be cruel. 
 +5 +6  +8  +7  +7   -8 +7 -7 +7    -8    +6  +6
And if life be-longs on-ly to the strong, Al-fie,
 +7   -6  -4   +5  -5 +6 -6  -6  -8   -7
what will you lend on an old gol-den rule?
+7  -8  -7 -5 +6  +5     -4   +5 +6  -7 -8  +8   -7  -7
As sure as  I be-lieve there's a heav-en a-bove, Al-fie, 
-4  -8   -7      -5    -6  +6    +5 
 I know there's some-thing much more,
 -4    +5  +6 -7 +7  -7 +7   -7  -7  -6  -7   -6
some-thing ev-en non-be-liev-ers can be-lieve in.
+6 -5   +5  -5  +6   -5  +7 
 I be-lieve in love, Al-fie.
 -6  -7   +7   -4  +4  -8  +7  +6  -8  +7 
With-out true love we just ex-ist, Al-fie.
-6 -7  +7   -4  +4   -8 
Un-til you find the love 
  +7     +6     -6   -7   +7   -8  +8
you've missed you're noth-ing, Al-fie.
-6   -4   +5  -5   +6   -6    -6  -8  -7 
When you walk let your heart lead the way, 
+7   -6     -4   +5  -5 +6 -6   -6  +6  -6 +6
and you'll find love  an-y day, Al-fie, Al-fie.
