Dm                      Am
So you'll be an austrian nobleman

Youll be commissioning a symphony in c

[verse 2]
Dm                      Am
With money you squeeze from the peasants
         Dm             C           G
To your nephew you can give it as a present
     Bb                      F

[verse 3]
Dm                 Am
Completely filling the palace concert hall
Dm           C           G
Its warm and golden like an oven thats wide open
         Bb                    F
It has a melody both happy and sad
         Bb              F   
Built on victorias young triads

[verse 4]
       Dm                          Am
Youve entered the room with great caution
Dm                   C            G
Though no one in the hall is even watching
         Bb                                      F
They are transfixed, they are forgetting just to breath
            Bb                           F  C Dm G C
They are so taken by your symphony... in c

[verse 5]
Dm                                Am
Youre sitting there thinking your thoughts
         Dm             C              G
They are not about what is but what is not
        Bb                              F
You are sitting there breathing in your breath
        Bb                               F
You are seldom breathing life but mostly death

[verse 6]

Which defies all earthly descriptions

Youll be commissioning... a symphony... in c
