[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Em][Am][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]All men
[Am]kill [C]the thing they love
[G]By all let this, by all let this be heard

[Verse 2]
All [Em]men kill the thing they love
[G]By [Am]all let this, by all let [G]this be heard

[Verse 3]
[Am]I never saw a man who looked
with such a wistful [G]eye
Upon that [Em]little tent of blue which
prisoners call the sky
And [Am]at every drifting cloud that
went with [G]sails of silver by
[C]In Reading Gaol by Reading town
there [G]is a [Em]pit o[G]f [Em]shame[Am][C]
[Am]And in it lies a wretched man [G]eaten
by teeth of [Am]flame[G]
The [C]man had [Em]killed the thing he [Am]loved
And [F]so he had to [G]die

[Verse 4]
[C]All men kill the [Em]thing they love
By [Am]all let this, by all let [G]this be heard

[Verse 5]
Some [C]kill their love when they are young
And [G]some when they are old
[C]Some str[G]angle with the hands of Lust
Some with the hands of Gold
[Am]The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow [G]cold[Am][G]
And [C]there, till Christ call forth the dead,
In [G]silence let him [Em]lie
[Am]No need to waste the foolish tear
Nor [G]heave the windy sigh
The [C]man had [Em]killed the thing he [Am]loved
And [F]so he had to [G]die

[Verse 6]
[G]All [C]men [Am]kill [G]the[Am] thi[C]ng they love[G]
By [Am]all let this, by all let [G]this be heard
[C]All men [G]kill [Am]the t[G]hi[C]ng they love[G]
By [Am]all let this,
by all let [G]this be heard

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][Em][C][Am][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]Some do it with a [Am]bitter look
Some with [G]a flattering [Em]word[G]
The cow[Am]ard does it with a kiss
[G]The brave man with a sword
The [C]man had [Em]killed the thing he [Am]loved
And [F]so he had to [G]die[Am][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]All men kill the [G]thing [Em]they love
[G]By [Am]all let this, by all let [G]this be heard.
