Misc Traditional – Funiculi Funicula (Guitar)

     C
Some think the world is made for fun and frolic,

    G7    C      G7    C
And so do I. And so do I.

     C
Some think it well to be all melancholic,

   G7       C        G7       C
To pine and sigh; to pine and sigh;

    Em    B7      Em       B7      Em
But  I, I love to spend my time in singing,

     B7     Em         B7     Em
Some joyous song, some joyous song,

   G       D7       G     D7      G
To set the air with music bravely ringing

   D7       G         D7       G
Is far from wrong. Is far from wrong.

G7
Listen, listen, echoes sound afar!

G7                             C
Listen, listen, echoes sound a-far!

      E7        Am        E7        Am
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà

F              C          G7         C
Echoes sound a-far, funiculì, funiculà!

   C
Ah me! 'tis strange that some should take to sighing,

    G7      C         G7      C
And like it well. And like it well.

    C
For me, I have not thought it worth the trying,

    G7    C        G7     C
So cannot tell; so cannot tell;

     Em          B7        Em       B7       Em
With laugh, with dance and song the day soon passes,

     B7      Em         B7      Em
Full soon is gone, full soon is gone,

    G         D7       G      D7       G
For mirth was made for joyous lads and lasses

   D7         G       D7         G
To call their own. To call their own!

G7
Listen, listen, hark the soft guitar

G7                                C
Listen, listen, hark the soft gui-tar,

      E7        Am        E7        Am
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà,

F                C          G7         C
Hark the soft guitar, funiculì, funiculà!
