[Verse 1]
[G]Wha[D]t g[G]ood[D] is[G] si[D]t[G][C][D][G]
[Daug]ting alone [Gm]in yo[G]ur room?[Daug]
[G]Come hear the music play.
Life [C]is [C#dim]a cabaret, o[F#]h char[Bm]m,[E]
[Em]come [Am]to the [D]cabaret.[G]
Put down the knit[D]ting,
[G]the book and the [Daug]broom,
[G]time for a holiday.
[C]Life is [C#dim]a cabaret, o[F#]ld chu[Bm]m,[E]
come [Am]to the [D]cabaret.
[G]Come taste the[Cm] wine,
come hear [Ebaug]the band,[G]
come blow [Em]a horn, start celebrating.
[A]Sitting [D]right this way, our table's waiting
[G]No use permit[D]ting [Daug]some
[G]prophet of doom
[Daug]To wipe ev[G]ery smile away[C#dim]
[Dm]Life [G]is [C]a c[C#dim]abaret, Els[Bm]ham,

I [G]used to have a [D]girlfriend [G]known as Elsie
With whom I shared four
[D]sordid [G]rooms in Chelsea
She [C]wasn't what you'd
call a blushing flower,
[Em]as a mat[A]ter of fact she
rented by [Am]the hour.[D]
The [G]day she died the [D]neigh
bours came to [G]snicker,
well that's the comms of
[D]too much pills and li[G]quor.
But [C]when I saw her [F#dim]laid
out [B]like a [Em]queen,
she was the [A]happiest [C]corpse
[G]I'd eve[D]r see[C]n.[D][G]
I [F#]think of Elsie to this [Bm]very day,
[E]I r[D]emember how she'd
turn to [A]me an[D]d say,
[G]What good is sitting [D]alone
[G]in your roo[D]m
[Daug]Come hea[G]r the music play
[C]Life is a [C#dim]cabaret, [Bm]old chap[E]
Come to [G]the [D]cabaret
[G]Put[D] down t[G]he knitting,
[F#aug]the book [G]and the broom,
[Daug]time for a h[G]oliday.
[C]Life is [C#dim]a cabaret, [Bm]oh chum,
[E]come to [Am]the caba[D]ret.
[G]And as [Cm]for me, as for [G]me,
I've made my [Em]mind up back in [A]Chelsea
[D]When I go, [G]I'm [Eb]going like [C#]LSA[Eb]
[Ab]Start by admitting,
[Ebaug]from cradle to[Ab] tomb,[Ebaug]
[Ab]isn't that more or stay?
[C#]Life is a cab[Bdim]aret, o[Cm]ld chum,[F]
[Bbm]a -ray, a ca[Bdim]baret,
[Cm]old chum[F],
and [Bbm]I love a cab [Ebsus4]aret! you[Ab]
