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        Eb7 D7
I've got the world on a   string
Gm7          C7
Sitting on a rainbow
F                 Bb7      Am7   Abm7
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         Eb7 D7
I've got a song that I   sing
Gm7            C7
I can make the rain go
F         Bb7        Am7 Abm7
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        Eb7 D7
I've got the world on a   string
Gm7          C7
Sitting on a rainbow
F                 Bb7      Am7   Abm7
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
