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.
