Description
Rough acoustic version of Richard's version of Sonnet 29. In this, Richard does all the playing and singing. No loops. Jack Miller and I will clean this up and include it on our future "Great Shakes" album by Breakers (our new band name).
This is different than Tiler's version which was previously posted: http://www.macjams.com/song/21106

Lyrics
intro: Em7 - Am7 - Bm7 - Em7 - Em7 - Am7 - Bm7 - Em7
Em7 Am7
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
Bm7 Em7
I all alone beweep my outcast state
Em7 Am7
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
Bm7 Em7
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
break: Am7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Em7 - Am7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Em7
Em7 Am7
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Bm7 Em7
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Em7 Am7
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
Bm7 Em7
With what I most enjoy contented least;
break: F# - C# - B - F# - F# - C# - B - F#
F# C#
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
B F#
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
F# C#
Like to the lark at break of day arising
B F#
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
break: Am7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Em7 - Am7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Em7
(3 times)
E C
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
D E
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
(last time)
E C
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
D A
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
cleaned up version.
This rough version has good energy - don't lose too much of that!
The vocal harmonies near the end are fascinating.
