Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]We all must wonder[D], now and [C]then,
If things had turned out - well
[D]- just plain [Dm]differ[C]ent.
Chance path taken, [D]page un[C]turned or brief encounter[D], blossomed,
[Dm]splintered.[C]
Might I have [G]been the [A]man of [G]courage,
[C]brave [G]upon life's [A]battle[G]field,
[C]Captain [G]Commerce, [A]high- flown [G]banker,
[C]he [G]donistic, down- at- heel?
A Pur[C]itan [D]of moral [C]fibre,
[G]voice rai[C]sed in praise mag[D]nifi ce[F]nt?[C]
Or rested in as[D]sured re[C]pose,
[G]kno[F]wing my[C] lot in quiet [D]content.[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]What- [C]ifs, [D]Maybes and Might- [G]have- [C]beens
[Am]fly, soft peta[D]ls on a [Em]breeze.
[Bm]What- ifs,
[C]Maybes and Might- [D]have- [Em]beens.
[Am]Why- nots, [D]Perhaps and Wait- [Am]and- [B]sees.
[Em][C][Em][D][Em][C][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Suppose bold [C]woman, quite un[Em]suited,
brave in ad[C]venture, sojourns [D]wicked.
[Em]Velvet touch[C] and lips [Em]soft- centred,
tossing [C]hair, teeth [D]bared in laughing.
[Em]Imagine [C]idyll Summers never[Em]- ending,
Winter [C]nights beside fire [D]roaring.
[Em]Touched by madne[C]ss, filled with [Em]fondness,
kissed by [C]love, love [Am]without [D]name.
[Bm]What- [C]ifs, [D]Maybes and

[Verse 4]
Might- [G]have- [C]beens [Am]fly,
soft [D]petals on a [Em]breeze.
[Bm]What- ifs,
[C]Maybes and Might- [D]have- [Em]beens.
[Am]Why- nots, [D]Perhaps and Wait- [Am]and- [B]sees.[C]

[G]So, you ride yourselves

[Verse 5]
[A]over [D]the fields.
And you [G]make [A]all your animal [D]deals.
And your [G]wise [A]men don't
know how it [D]feels[A]
To be thick as a brick... two
