Chorus:
Am                     Dm    Em
So much trouble in the world,
Am                     Dm    Em
So much trouble in the world.

Am                  Dm      Em
Bless my eyes this morning,
Am                 Dm              Em
Jah sun is on the rise once again.
Am                          Dm    Em
The way earthly things are goin',
Am            Dm     Em
Anything can happen.

            Am                         F  Em
You see men sailing on their ego trips,
Am                              F  Em
Blast off on their space ships.
        Am                 F  Em
Million miles from reality,
   Am                           F  Em
No care for you, no care for me.

Chorus:
So much trouble in the world;
So much trouble in the world
All you got to do: give a little (give a little)
Give a little (give a little), give a little
(give a little)!
One more time, ye-ah! (give a little) Ye-ah!
(give a little)
Ye-ah! (give a little) Yeah!

So you think you've found the solution
But it's just another illusion!
(So before you check out this tide)
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind, eh-eh-eh-eh!
We've got to face the day
(Ooh) Ooh-wee, come what may
We the street people talking
Yeah, we the people struggling

Now they sitting on a time bomb;
(Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
Now I know the time has come:
(Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
What goes on up is coming on down,
(Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)
Goes around and comes around.
(Bomb-bomb-bomb! Bomb-bomb-bomb!)

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble
(so much trouble in the world)
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
(so much in the world)
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble in the world
(so much trouble in the world)
There is (so much in the world)
(So much trouble in the world)
