*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.
