Oh, Galuppi Baldassare, though I never knew your name 
     C             C/B              Am               F 
It's thanks to Mr. Browning you are with us just the same 
G                       G7 
Thanks to Mr. Browning, blowing on the flame 


              C 
Well here you come with your old music, and here's all the good it brings 
             F                                                      C 
You say they lived like this in Venice, when the merchants were the kings 
             G                                F         G    C 
And though I never left old Boston, still you showed me everything 


        C 
Did the young folks take their pleasure? Was the ocean warm in May?  
        F                                                 C 
Did the parties start at midnight, did they roll until midday?  
            G                                    F          G        C 
And did the ladies bloom like bellflowers, every time you'd start to play? 


        C 
Well, I bet that they all loved you, I bet they stood around and cheered 
         F                                                   C 
Saying, "That's what I call music, good for joy and good for tears. 
    G                                F      G        C 
Now let's stop all this talking, and let it fill our earsâ?� 


          Am               G           Em               F 
Well, the minor third's so bitter, the six chord like a sigh 
G                                    Am           Am/G         D/F# 
Suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we die, must we die?  
        F                           G         
And the seventh says, "Well fellas, life might not last, but we can try" 


            C 
So were you happy? I was happy. You still happy? Yes, and you?  
          F                                                    C 
Then more kisses! Why'd we stop them, when a million seemed so few?  
        G                                F       G        C 
There's something in that music, lord it must be answered to 


          Am                 G            Em              F 
Then they left you for their fortunes, in due time one by one 
         G                                             Am            Am/G            D/F# 
Some had lives that came to nothing, some went and did things they'd better not have done 
         F                             G         
And then death stepped up and took 'em where they'll never see the sun 


        C 
Oh, but you, you ghostly cricket, singing where the house has burned 
          F                                                   C 
"Dust and ashes, dead and done with, Venice spent what Venice earned" 
           G                              F       G     C 
But what's left behind I wonder, when the kissing has adjourned? 


          C 
’Dust and ashesâ?�, so you tell me, and I cannot say you're wrong 
            F                                                    C 
Still those dear dead dancing ladies with their hair so soft and long 
       G                              F       G         C 
Stir a little in their slumber, every time we play your song 


           Am                  G           Em                 F 
'Cause the minor third's still bitter, the six chord makes us sigh 
G                                    Am       Am/G     D/F# 
Suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we also die?  
        F                          G                               C      C/B Am F 
And the seventh still says, "Well, life might not last, but we can try"
