All Dead, All Dead

Words & Music:

Brian May (Queen)

 

    Dm       A     Dm                   A     Dm

She came without a farthing; a babe without a name.

         C        F          Gm       A        Dm

So much ado 'bout nothing is what she tried to say.

So much ado my lover, so many games we played.

Through every fleeted summer, through every precious day.

 

C   F     Gm  F             Bb        F

All dead, all dead; all the dreams we had

                   Dm         Bb  C  F

And I wonder why I still live on

C   F     Gm  F          Bb      F

All dead, all dead and alone I'm spared

           A7      Dm        Bb       F         Bb

My sweeter half instead; all dead and gone, all dead...

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

All dead, all dead; at the rainbow's end.

And still I hear her own sweet song.

All dead, all dead; take me back again.

You know my little friend's all dead and gone.

 

Her ways are always with me, I wonder all the while.

But please you must forgive me, I am old but still a child.

 

All dead, all dead; but I should not grieve.

In time it comes to everyone.

All dead, all dead; but in hope I breathe.

Of course I don't believe you're dead and gone.

    Bb       F

All dead and gone...
