Am C D - F
1. Suddenly I woke this
morning, the light was dawning on me,
Am C D - F
tumbling
from my bed and scratching my head, I looked out to see,
F E
bright
new day, here to stay.
Am C D - F
People all around, not making
a sound but taking the air,
Am C D - F
trying
not to choke, breathing the smoke, they leave everywhere,
F E - E7
blowin’ away, bright new day.
C F
The world is ours, the place we all share together,
G C - G
and all together, there’s such a
lot to share.
C F
Let’s keep our world a fair place for people to live in,
G C
and we can live in a world for
which we care.
A C#m
+ Why does everybody try
to ruin everything
F#m A
that
really matters in this world today ?
- D - A E
Don’t they know that this is our world, this is our world.
A C#m
Everybody’s jokin’ while the kids are busy smokin’,
F#m A
people
really must be jokin’ if they think it doesn’t happen
D -
A E
here,
yes, it happens in our world.
Am C D - F
2. Suddenly it seems the ocean has lost its motion for me,
Am C D - F
troubled
water’s gently gliding a black cloud sliding by me,
F
E
wish
I knew, what to do.
Am C D - F
Take a look ahead,
don’t bury your head like an ostrich below,
Am C D
- F
everybody
stop, blowing the top off our wonderful world,
F E
- E7
everyone
having fun.
C F
The world is ours, the place we all share together,
G
