Oh, Galuppi Baldassare, though I never knew your name
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm FF
It's thanks to Mr. Browning you are with us just the same
G+G 
G7G7
Thanks to Mr. Browning, blowing on the flame
C majorC
Well here you come with your old music, and here's all the good it brings
FF C majorC
You say they lived like this in Venice, when the merchants were the kings
G+G FF G+G C majorC
And though I never left old Boston, still you showed me everything
C majorC
Did the young folks take their pleasure? Was the ocean warm in May?
FF C majorC
Did the parties start at midnight, did they roll until midday?
G+G FF G+G C majorC
And did the ladies bloom like bellflowers, every time you'd start to play?
C majorC
Well, I bet that they all loved you, I bet they stood around and cheered
FF C majorC
Saying, "That's what I call music, good for joy and good for tears.
G+G FF G+G C majorC
Now let's stop all this talking, and let it fill our ears?
A minorAm G+G 
E minorEm FF
Well, the minor third's so bitter, the six chord like a sigh
G+G A minorAm 
Am/GAm/G 
D/F#D/F#
Suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we die, must we die?
FF G+G
And the seventh says, "Well fellas, life might not last, but we can try"
C majorC
So were you happy? I was happy. You still happy? Yes, and you?
FF C majorC
Then more kisses! Why'd we stop them, when a million seemed so few?
G+G FF G+G C majorC
There's something in that music, lord it must be answered to
A minorAm G+G E minorEm FF
Then they left you for their fortunes, in due time one by one
G+G A minorAm Am/GAm/G D/F#D/F#
Some had lives that came to nothing, some went and did things they'd better not have done
FF G+G
And then death stepped up and took 'em where they'll never see the sun
C majorC
Oh, but you, you ghostly cricket, singing where the house has burned
FF C majorC
"Dust and ashes, dead and done with, Venice spent what Venice earned"
G+G FF G+G C majorC
But what's left behind I wonder, when the kissing has adjourned?
C majorC
Dust and ashes , so you tell me, and I cannot say you're wrong
FF C majorC
Still those dear dead dancing ladies with their hair so soft and long
G+G FF G+G C majorC
Stir a little in their slumber, every time we play your song
A minorAm G+G E minorEm FF
'Cause the minor third's still bitter, the six chord makes us sigh
G+G A minorAm Am/GAm/G D/F#D/F#
Suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we also die?
FF G+G C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm FF
And the seventh still says, "Well, life might not last, but we can try"
