A               D   E
Music from an open window
A       D       E
Music sudden, fleeting
A               D   E
Music from an open window
A       D       E
Music sudden, fleeting
A               D   E
Music from an open window
A       D       E
Music sudden, fleeting

Ordinary music in an ordinary street
A             D           E
Why does your heart start beating

A          D          E
What can a song do to you?
       A        D       E
Can it wake any memory sleeping
            A      D             Bm         E         A        Bm      E
Can it call back a day when your heart fled away into somebody else's keeping
A               D       A
What can a song do to you?
A                   D           E
Can it bring back a spring in December
        A             D            Bm           E
Can it make with each note such an ache in your throat
        A            D       E
And you find you can still remember

        Em        F#            Bm
For the past is a house full of treasure
     Dm         G           C
The lies buried deep in the store
      Em           F#          Bm
Every smile, every tear, every pleasure
      Dm                     E
And a song is the key to the door

A               D   E
Music from an open window
A       D       E
Music sudden, fleeting
A               D   E
Music from an open window
A       D       E
Music sudden, fleeting

A          D          E
What can a song do to you?
        A       D               E
Can it kindle a flame that was dying
        A            D          Bm              E
Til it burns once again with its joy, with its pain
        A               D       E
And your heart's of a sudden crying

     Em           F#         Bm
Oh I know, yes I know, now I see
        Dm      E       A
What a song has done to me
