Am Cmaj7 C7 Dm7 Dm7



🎸 Verse :

Am       Cmaj7 C7   Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 That's quite a num---ber to sing
Fmaj7/D
Spotlit, getting lowered in

Am     Cmaj7 C7      Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 But you co-direct and play the twins
Fmaj7/D
And adapt the main theme from mandolins

Am      Cmaj7 C7   Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 Conjured up won- -derful things
Fmaj7/D
The ballad of what could've been
Am    Cmaj7 C7  Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 Over and ou------t
Fmaj7/D
Its been a thrill


🎸 Chorus:

   Dm  Dm/C   E       Am
I had big i-deas, the band were so excited
     Dm   Dm/C   E       Am
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
      Dm Dm/C   E       Am
But now the or-chestras got us all surrounded
     Dm Dm/C  Dm/B E    Dm    Dm/C  Dm/B E
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go

Am C/G F Dm7 Dm7




🎸 Verse :

Am   Cmaj7 C7  Fmaj7/D

Nationwide festivities
Am      Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D
 We had them out  of their seats
Fmaj7
Waving their arms and stomping the feet

Am      Cmaj7 C7   Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 Some just hyster---ically sing
  Fmaj7
The ballad of what could've been

Am    Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
 Over and ou----------------t
      Fmaj7/D
Really, its been a thrill
