...DECOMPOSING COMPOSERS... by Monty Python
---------------------------................
*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: D)
Intro:
C G/B Am Em, F C, Dm G7
Verse 1:
C G/B
Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on,
Am Em
And Mozart don't go shopping no more.
F C
You'll never meet Liszt, or Brahms again,
Dm G7
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Verse 2:
C G/B
Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Am Em
Whilst com-posing a long sympho-ny.
F C
But one hundred and fifty years later;
Dm G
There's very little of them left to see.
Chorus 1:
C F C F G
They're Decomposing Com-po-sers; there's not much anyone can do.
C F G7 C
You can still hear Beet-hoven, but Beethoven cannot hear you.
*(BEETHOVEN BREAK)*
Verse 3:
C G/B
Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov,
Am Em
En-joyed a nice drink with their meal.
F C
But nowadays no one will serve them,
Dm G7
And their gravy is left to con-geal.
Verse 4:
C G/B
Verdi and Wagner de-lighted crowds,
Am Em
With their highly original sounds.
F C
The pi-anos they played are still working,
Dm G
But they're both six feet under-ground.
Chorus 2:
C F C F G
They're Decomposing Com-po-sers; there's less of them every year.
C F
You can say what you like to De-bussy,
G7 C
But there's not much of him left to hear.
Coda:
C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
Aah, aah... Claude A-chille De-bussy; died, nineteen eight-een.
C Am Dm G C
Christophe Willebald Gluck; died, 1787.
C Am
Carl Maria Von Weber; not at all well, 1825; died 1826.
Am Dm
Giacomo Meyerbeer; still alive, 186-3;
Am Dm
Not still alive, 1864.
Am F Am C F
Modeste Mus-sorgsky; 1880, going to parties, no fun any more, 188-1.
C G
Johan Nepomuk Hummel;
C F G C
Chatting away nineteen to the dozen, with his mates,
(n.C)
Down the pub, every evening, 1836, 1837; nothing.
