DmCM7
If I ruled the world,
GmC7BmE7
Every day would be the first day of spring,
BmE7AmAm
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
AmEmDmG7
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.
DmCM7
If I ruled the world,
GmC7BmE7
Every man would be as free as a bird,
BmE7AmAmAm
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
AmEmDmE7
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.
Bridge:
AM7GbmBmE7
My world, would be a beautiful place,
AM7DmG7
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
CM7AmDmG7
My world, would wear a smile on its face,
AmAmGbmDmG7
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams.
DmCM7
If I ruled the world,
GmC7BmE7
Every man would say the world was his friend,
BmE7AmAmAm
There'd be happiness that no man could end;
AmEmA7
No, my friend, not if I, ruled the world.
DmDmG7
Every head would be held up high,
CM7A7
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
DmFM7DmG7CM7
If the day ever dawned when I, ruled the world.
