As with many standards, this song has been performed by many artists. I have
written in a key that I am comfortable with, along with altered chords that I hear
from my jazz background.
Verse 1:
========
D C7 B7
I've got the world on a string
Em7 A7
Sitting on a rainbow
D G7 F#m7 Fm7
Got that string a-round my fin - ger
Em7 F#dim7 Em7 A7 D Em7 A7
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
D C7 B7
I've got a song that I sing
Em7 A7
I can make the rain go
D G7 F#m7 Fm7
Anytime I move my fi - nger
Em7 F#dim7 Em7 A7 D
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love
Bridge:
=======
C#m7 F#7
Life is a beautiful thing
F#m/B B7
As long as I hold the string
Bm7/E E7
I'd be a silly so and so
Em7/A A7#9
If I should ever let go
Verse 3:
========
D C7 B7
I've got the world on a string
Em7 A7
Sitting on a rainbow
D G7 F#m7 Fm7
Got that string a-round my fin - ger
Em7 F#dim7 Em7 A7 D Em7 A7
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
