Chords

Adapted by Brandon Archer (2021) from Franz Schubert's An die Musik (1817) This my own semi-modernized translation of the original German lyrics. Some of the chords have been modified to give it a "bluesier" feel. [Intro] C B7 C7 B7 A Am7 G F F7 C [Verse]
C                   F              F7                  C  C7
Oh art di-vine, how often have you pulled me from the sha-dows,

     F      G7            Am7                           C     C7
when life's remorse-less noose was tight'ning 'round my throat,

    G7     F  C                    Am7                      F7     C
re-stored the bur-ning... love with-in  that used to set my heart aglow?
[Chorus]
    F              Am7              G     Fm
You showed to me a world that could be better...

              C      G7            Cmaj7
You showed me how to see a better world.
[Bridge] C B7 C7 B7 A Am7 G F F7 C [Verse]
C                  F              F7              C  C7
How often has your harpstring let slip a sigh of sor-row,

  F         G7     Am7                   C   C7
a sweet and sacred chord from you to all be-low

    G7    F  C               Am7             F7       C
reminding a-all... those-who-hear of better things to-mor-row?
[Chorus]
     F            Am7                G    Fm
Oh, art divine, I thank you for your beau-ty

            C         G7                 Cmaj7
Oh graceful mu-sic, I thank you for your song
[Outro] C B7 C7 B7 A Am7 G F F7 Cmaj7
