[Intro]

| C | C6 | C | C6 |

[Verse 1]

C C6

Today, tomorrow, and yesterday, too

Am G/B C

The flowers are dyin' like all things do

Cdim7 Em F

Follow me close, I’m going to Bali Hali

C/G G

I'll lose my mind if you don't come with me

F Ebdim7

I fuss with my hair, and I fight blood feuds

C F/C C

I contain multitudes

[Verse 2]

C C6

Got a tell-tale heart, like Mr. Poe

Am G/B C

Got skeletons in the walls of people you know

Cdim7 Em F

I’ll drink to the truth and the things we said

C/G G

I'll drink to the man that shares your bed

F Ebdim7

I paint landscapes, and I paint nudes

C F/C C

I contain multitudes

[Verse 3]

C C6

Red Cadillac and a black moustache

Am G/B C

Rings on my fingers that sparkle and flash

Cdim7 Em F

Tell me, what's next? What shall we do?

C/G G

Half my soul, baby, belongs to you

F Ebdim7

I rolic and I frolic with all the young dudes

C F/C C

I contain multitudes

[Bridge]

E7/G# Am G#aug

I'm just like Anne Frank, like Indiana Jones

C/G Am/F#

And them British bad boys, The Rolling Stones

E7/G# Am G#aug

I go right to the edge, I go right to the end

C/G D7/F#

I go right where all things lost are made good again

[Verse 4]

C C6

I sing the songs of experience like William Blake

Am G/B C

I have no apologies to make

Cdim7 Em F

Everything's flowing all at the same time

C/G G

I live on the boulevard of crime

F Ebdim7

I drive fast cars, and I eat fast foods

C F/C C

I contain multitudes

[Verse 5]

C C6

Pink petal-pushers, red blue jeans

Am G/B C

All the pretty maids, and all the old queens

Cdim7 Em F

All the old queens from all my past lives

C/G G

I carry four pistols and two large knives

F Ebdim7

I'm a man of contradictions, I'm a man of many moods

C/G F/C C

I contain multitudes

[Bridge]

E7/G# Am G#aug

You greedy old wolf, I'll show you my heart

C/G Am/F#

But not all of it, only the hateful parts

E7/G# Am G#aug

I’ll sell you down the river, I’ll put a price on your head

C/G D7/F#

What more can I tell you? I sleep with life and death in the same bed

[Verse 6]

C/G C6

Get lost, madam, get up off my knee

Am G/B C

Keep your mouth away from me

Cdim7 Em F

I'll keep the path open, the path in my mind

C/G G

I’ll see to it that there's no love left behind

F Ebdim7

I'll play Beethoven's sonatas, and Chopin’s preludes

C/G F/C C

I contain multitudes
