Monty Python fue un grupo británico de humoristas que sintetizó en clave de humor la idiosincrasia británica de los años 60 y 70. Lograron la fama gracias a su serie para la televisión inglesa Monty Python's Flying Circus (El Circo Ambulante de Monty Python), basada en sketches breves que en muchas ocasiones incluían una importante carga de crítica social, si bien en su mayoría se centraban en un sentido del humor absolutamente surrealista y basado en el absurdo.

CG/BAmEm, FC, DmG7

Verse 2:
CG/B Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh, AmEm Whilst com-posing a long sympho-ny. FC But one hundred and fifty years later; DmG There's very little of them left to see.
