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 :
= = = = = = = =
F D#7 D7
i’ve got the world on A string
Gm7 C7
sitting on a rainbow
F A#7 Am7 G#m7
got that string A – round my fin – ger
Gm7 [ ch ] F#dim7 [ /Ch ] Gm7 C7 F Gm7 C7
what a world , what a life , i’m in love

F D#7 D7
i’ve got a song that i sing
Gm7 C7
i can make the rain go
F A#7 Am7 G#m7
anytime i move my fi – nger
Gm7 [ ch ] F#dim7 [ /Ch ] Gm7 C7 F Gm7 C7
lucky me , can’t you see , i’m in love

bridge :
= = = = = = =
Em7 A7
life is a beautiful thing
Am/D D7
as long as i hold the string
G13 G7 ( #5 )
i’d be a silly so and so
Gm7 C7sus
if i should ever let go

verse 3 :
= = = = = = = =
F D#7 D7
i’ve got the world on A string
Gm7 C7
sitting on a rainbow
F A#7 Am7 G#m7
got that string A – round my fin – ger
Gm7 [ ch ] F#dim7 [ /Ch ] Gm7 C7 F Gm7 C7
what a world , what a life , i’m in love
