Decomposing Composers Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CBeethoven's gone but his Gmusic lives on,

 And AmMozart don't go shopping no moEmre.

 You'll Fnever meet Liszt or CBrahms again,

 And FElgar doesn't answer the Gdoor.

Chord Pattern 2

CSchubert and Chopin used to Gchuckle and laugh,

 Whilst comAmposing a long symphoEmny.

 But one Fhundred and fifty years Clater,

 There's very Glittle of them left to Csee.

C They're DecomGposing comCposers,G there's Fnot much anyone can Gdo.

CYou can Gstill hear BeetFhoven, but GBeethoven cannot hear Cyou.

Chord Pattern 1

Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov,

Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal.

But nowadays no one will serve them,

And there gravy is left to congeal

Chord Pattern 2

Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds,

With their highly original sounds.

The pianos they played are still working,

But they're both six feet underground.

Same Chords as Chorus

(Be warned the rhythm of the last line is different to that of the first chorus.

Start the C chord on "say". Hope this is clear.)

They're decomposing composers. There's less of them every year.

You can say what you like to Debussy, But there's not much of him left to hear.
