CAKE – Commissioning A Symphony In C (Ukulele)

Dm                       Am
So you'll be an Austrian nobleman

   Dm           C           G
[tab]        Bb               F
Which defies all earthly descriptions

            Bb                        F
You'll be commissioning a Symphony in C

Dm                              Am
With money you squeeze from the peasants

        Dm             C            G
To your nephew you can give it as a present

        Bb                   F
This magnificent Symphony in C

          Bb                          F
You'll be commissioning a Symphony in C

Dm                            Am
Completely filling the palace concert hall

              Dm             C                G
It's warm and golden like an oven that's wide open

         Bb                    F
It has a melody both happy and sad

Bb                        F
Built on victorious young triads

Dm                                 Am
You've entered the room with great caution

          Dm         C            G
Though no one in the hall is even watching

              Bb
They are transfixed

                            F
They are forgetting just to breathe

            Bb
They are so taken by your Symphony...

   F
in C

Dm                                 Am
You're 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

Dm                       Am
So you'll be an Austrian nobleman

   Dm           C           G
Commissioning a Symphony in C

        Bb               F
Which defies all earthly descriptions

You'll be commissioning...
