Sonnet 18

Intro: D

            G     A           G        D
Shall I compare thee    to a summer's day?
               Em  G         A         D
Thou art more lovely    and more temperate
                 G                           D
Rough winds do shake    the darling buds of may,
              Em             G                D
And summer's lease      hath all too short a date

              A                            Bm
Sometime too hot        the eye of heaven shines,
          E                                  A
And often is            his gold complexion dimm'd;

           G      A                    G       D
And every fair          from fair sometime declines,
              Em    G     A                 D
By chance or nature's   changing course untrimm'd;

       A                           Bm
But thy eternal summer  shall not fade
             E                             A
Nor lose possession     of that fair thou owest;

                  G                             D
Nor shall death brag    thou wander'st in his shade,
        Em       G                     D
When in eternal lines   to time thou growest:

    A                                   Bm
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
                G        A                  D
So long lives this and this gives life to thee
