GALUPPI BALDASSARE
Oh (C)Galuppi Baldas(C/B)sare, though I (Am)never knew your (F)name
Well here you (C)come with your old music, and here’s all the good it brings
Did the (C)young folks take their pleasure? Was the ocean warm in May?
Well I (C)bet that they all loved you, I bet they stood around and cheered
Well the (Am)minor third's so (G)bitter, the (Em)six chord like a (F)sigh
So were you (C)happy? I was happy. You still happy? Yes, and you?
Then they (Am)left you for their (G)fortunes, in (Em)due time one by (F)one
Oh but (C)you, you ghostly cricket, singing where the house has burned
“Dust and (C)ashes,” so you tell me, and I cannot say you’re wrong
‘Cause the (Am)minor third’s still (G)bitter, the (Em)six chord makes us (F)sigh

It’s (C)thanks to Mr. (C/B)Browning you are (Am)with us just the (F)same
(G)Thanks to Mr. Browning, (G7)blowing on the flame
You say they (F)lived like this in Venice when the merchants were the (C)kings

Did the (F)parties start at midnight, did they roll until mid(C)day?
And did the (G)ladies bloom like bellflowers, every (F)time you’d (G)start to (C)play?
Saying (F)“That’s what I call music, good for joy and good for (C)tears
Now (G)let’s stop all this talking, and (F)let it (G)fill our (C)ears”
(G)Suspension, solution, asking must we (Am)die, must we (Am/G)die, must we (D/F#)die?
