Chords and Lyrics

Everything's Coming Up Roses


Misc. Traditional

Dm7G7#5C6
Things look swell, things look great,
CmDm7G7C6
gonna have the whole world on plate.
B7#5EmC7Fm7
Starting here starting now, honey,
CEmDm7G7
Everything's coming up ros-es.

Ebdim7Dm7G7#5C6
Clear the decks, clear the tracks,
CmDm7G7C6
we got nothing to do but relax.
B7#5EmC7Fm7
Blow a kiss, take a bow, honey,
CEmDm7G7
Everything's coming up ros-es.

Dm7G7Cm7
Now's our inning,
Dm7G9C
stand the world on its ear
F#m7b5B7Em
Set it spinning
Am7D7F#G7
that'll be just the beginning

Ebdim7Dm7G7#5C9
Curtain up, light the lights,
CmDm7G7C6
we got nothing to hit but the heights!
B7#5B7EmC7Fm7
We'll be swell,  we'll be great!
Em7Am7D9
I can tell, just you wait!

That luckstar talk about is due 
CEmDm7
Honey,Everything's coming up roses
G7Dm7G7C
for me and for you.

Rick plays Fly Me to the Moon, recorded LIVE at Golden Buddha in 2009

As part of our lesson program-- I'd like you to hear the original better known rendition by Sinatra first-- because most people know the song through him. Then click on my piano version at Golden Buddha after that so you can see how it's successfully rendered on the piano-- to applause.

Morning Has Broken

Here's the original version which I'm happy and amazed to discover on Youtube along with everything else I've ever listened to but can now watch...


Here's a tentative version by me... which is more of a practise session but in the interests of getting something posted on this, I'll throw it up here-- and redo it later.
