D5                      A5
So youll be an austrian nobleman
   D5           C5           G5
Commissioning a symphony in c
        Bb5               F5
Which defies all earthly descriptions
           Bb5                        F5
Youll be commissioning a symphony in c

With money you squeeze from the peasants

To your nephew you can give it as a present

This magnificent symphony in c

Youll be commissioning a symphony in c


F5 C5 D5 G5 C../ F5 C5 

G5 C../


Completely filling the palace concert hall

Its warm and golden like an oven thats wide open

It has a melody both happy and sad

Built on victorias young triads

Youve entered the room with great caution

Though no one in the hall is even watching

They are transfixed

They are forgetting just to breath

They are so taken by your symphony...

F5 C5 D5 G5 C../ F5 C5 

G5 C../ F5 C5 D5 G5 C../

Youre sitting there thinking your thoughts
They are not about what is but what is not
You are sitting there breathing in your breath
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death

So youll be an austrian nobleman
Commissioning a symphony in c
Which defies all earthly descriptions
Youll be commissioning...
A symphony...

In C5
