• Song:

    Commissioning A Symphony In C

  • Artist:

    CAKE

  • Album:

    Comfort Eagle

hey, i like the song, figured i'd give it a go

ok, i'm playing an acoustic that i tune by ear, so i'm in between eb and standard.  so, 
the song sounds good as is, great: if not, shift up a fret.

may sound strange, but i have a capo on the 6th fret and it makes the song a piece of cake to play


Am                      E7
so you'll be an austrian nobleman

Am              G           D
commissioning a symphony in c

      F                  C
which defies all earthly descriptions

          F                           C         C/B
you'll be commissioning a symphony in c

Am           D          G
C      C/B        Am        D        G
