Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(Hey Michael come on & swing.

Looks like you got the world on a string.)

 I've got the world on a string

 I'm sitting on a rainbow

 Got that string around my finger

 What a world, what a life - I'm in love

 I've got a song that I sing

 And I can make the rain go

 Any time I move my finger

 Lucky me, cant you see - I'm in love

 Life's a wonderful thing

 As long as I've got that string

 I'd be a silly so-and-so

 If I should ever let you go

 I've got the world on a string

 I'm sitting on the rainbow

 I've got that string around my finger

 Oh, What a world, what a life - I'm in love

Instrumental

 Life's a wonderful thing

B - - C - - Dbbreak

If I should ever let you go

 I've got the world on a string

 I'm sitting on a rainbow

I got that string around my finger

 What a world, what a life

 Oh, what a world, what life

 What a world, what life, cause I'm in love

(He's in love, he's in love)

I'm in love

(Got the world on a string)

And what a wonderful thing

(Alright)

When you get the world on a string

(Uh huh)
