Dm7CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7C7Bm7E7
Every day would be the first day of spring,
Bm7E7AmAm7
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
Am7Em7Dm7G7
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.
Dm7CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7C7Bm7E7
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Bm7E7AmAm7Am
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Am7Em7Dm7E7
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.
Bridge:
AM7GbmBm7E7
My world, would be a beautiful place,
AM7Dm7G7
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
CM7Am7Dm7G7
My world, would wear a smile on its face,
AmAm7Gbm7Dm7G7
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams.
Dm7CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7C7Bm7E7
Every man would say the world was his friend,
Bm7E7AmAm7Am
There'd be happiness that no man could end;
Am7Em7A7
No, my friend, not if I, ruled the world.
DmDm7G7
Every head would be held up high,
CM7A7
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
Dm7FM7Dm7G7CM7
If the day ever dawned when I, ruled the world.
