Thrice Beggars Lyrics

This is a pretty easy song, I suck at fingerpicking and
I figured it out easily. Here it is:
the whole song.
Chords:
Am Am5 Fmaj7 F G G(?) Am5 Am6 E
Am Am5?
Fmaj7 F - if easier just barre the E & B
aj7
G G(?)
Intro: Am x8
All you great men of power
you who boast of your feats
politicians and entrepreneurs
can you safeguard your breath in the night
while you sleep
keep your heart beating steady and sure
as you lie in your bed
does the thought haunt your head
that your really rather small
if there's one thing I know in this life
we are beggars all
All you champions of science and rulers of men
Can you summon the sun from it's sleep?
Does the earth seek your council on how fast to spin?
Can you shut up the gates of the deep?
G G(?)
Don't you know that all things hang as if by string
over darkness, poised to fall?
If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all
All you big shots who swagger and stride with conceit
Did you devise how your frame would be formed?
If you'd be raised in a palace or left out on the streets?
Or Choose the place or the hour you'd be born?
G G(?)
Tell me what can you claim not a thing, not your name
Tell me if you can recall just one thing, not a gift, in this life
Can you hear what's been said, can you see
now that everything's grace
after all
If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all
