Commissioning a Symphony In C

| Dm    | Dm

[Verse 1]
   Dm                    Am
So you'll be an Austrian nobleman
   Dm           C           G
Commissioning a symphony in C
        Bb              
Which defies all earthly 
    F
descriptions
             Bb                    
You'll be commissioning a symphony 
   F
in C

[Verse 2]
     Dm                        
With money you squeeze from the 
 Am
peasants
        Dm             C          
To your nephew you can give it as 
  G
a present
        Bb                   F
This magnificent symphony in C
             Bb                    
You'll be commissioning a symphony 
   F
in C

[Verse 3]
Continúa después del anuncio
           Dm                
Completely filling the palace 
    Am
concert hall
              Dm             C    
It's warm and golden like an oven 
         G
that's wide open
         Bb                    F
It has a melody both happy and sad
      Bb                  F
Built on victorious young triads

[Verse 4]
       Dm                        
You've entered the room with great 
Am
caution
       Dm            C            
Though no one in the hall is even 
G
watching
         Bb                  
They are transfixed, they are 
                    F
forgetting just to breathe
            Bb           
They are so taken by your 
                F
symphony... in C

[Verse 5]
       Dm                          
You're sitting there thinking your 
Am
thoughts
         Dm             C         
They are not about what is but 
     G
what is not
        Bb                         
You are sitting there breathing in 
    F
your breath
        Bb                       
You are seldom breathing life but 
    F
mostly death

[Verse 6]
   Dm                    Am
So you'll be an Austrian nobleman
   Dm           C           G
Commissioning a symphony in C

             Bb

                F
symphony... in C
