Words & Music by Ted Koehler & Harold Arlen, 1932
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1953 (#14)*
[D7] [D7]/9 [D9] [G6] [G/F#] [E7] [Am7] [Cdim]
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
[G] [G/F#] [E]-9 [E]
Got the string around my fin - ger;
[Am7] [D7] [Am7] [Cdim] Im7 [G] [Em7] [Am7]
What a world, what a life -- I'm in love.
[D7] [D7]/9 [D9] [G6] [G/F#] [E7] [Am7] [Cdim]
I've got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
[G] [G/F#] [E]-9 [E]
Anytime I snap my fin - ger;
[Am7] [D7] [Am7] [Cdim] [Am7] [G] [Gdim] [G]
Lucky me, can't you see? I'm in love.
Bridge:
[G] [G7] [B9] [G] [E9]
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I've got that string;
[G] [G/F#] [A7] [A7+5] [C] [F7] [D7]
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.
[D7] [D7]/9 [D9] [G6] [G/F#] [E7] [Am7] [Cdim]
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
[G] [G/F#] [E]-9 [E]
Got the string around my fin - ger;
[Am7] [D7] [Am7] [Cdim] [Am7] [G] [Gdim] Am7alt [Cm7] [G6]
What a world, what a life -- I'm in love.
