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
Verse 2
[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
[solo and repeat where you feel it is appropriate]
