SONG: That’s What Makes The World Go Round
ARTIST: Karl Swenson
COMPOSER(S): Richard & Robert Sherman
FROM THE FILM SOUNDTRACK: The Sword In The Stone
YEAR: 1963
Hello everybody. I thought I might upload a song from one of Walt Disney's under-rated
films, The Sword In The Stone.
Sword In The Stone is one of my personal childhood favorites. The songs was written by
the Sherman brothers, who also wrote the songs for The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins and The
Aristocats, oh and MGM's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I'll start with the tab first, then the lyrics with the chords. The song uses the key of
C. It should be quite easy to play.
This is the tab:

Lyrics:
C
Left and right
Like day and night
F
That's what makes the world go round
G
In and out
Thin and stout
C
That's what makes the world go round
Em F
For every up there is a down
G C
For every square there is a round
Dm
For every high there is a low
G F
For every to there is a fro
C
To and fro
Stop and go
F
That's what makes the world go round
G
In and out
Thin and stout
Spoken part:
WART: Merlin, I swallowed a bug.
MERLIN: What’s wrong with that? After all you are a fish. Instinct you know.
C
You must set your sights upon the heights
F
Don't be a mediocrity
G
Don't just wait and trust to fate
C
And say, that's how it's meant to be
Em F
It's up to you how far you go
G C
If you don't try you'll never know
Dm
And so my lad as I've explained
G F
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
C
Left and right
Like day and night
F
That's what makes the world go round
G
In and out
Thin and stout
C
That's what makes the world go round
Em F
For every up there is a down
G C
For every square there is a round
Dm
For every high there is a low
G F
For every to there is a fro
C
To and fro
Stop and go
F
That's what makes the world go round
G
In and out
Thin and stout
C
That's what makes the world go round
Em F
For every to there is a fro
G F
For every stop there is a go
G C
And that's what makes the world go round
Rest In Peace Robert Sherman.
