     E       B           E
The day the world gets round
        F#sus4            F#
To understanding where it is
B7
Using all it's found
             A              E  Esus4  E
To help each other hand in hand

The day the world gets 'round
To understanding where it's gone
Losing so much ground
Killing each other, hand in hand

      B7             A
Such foolishness in man
           E             F#sus4
I want no part of their plan

 B7    Asus4           A       E
No, If you're the destructive kind
         E
Now I'm working from day to day
      E                      B Bsus4
As I don't want to be like you
B  Asus4        A        E
I look for the pure of heart
        E
And the ones that have made a start
     E                     B Bsus4
But Lord there are just a few
B    A          Asus4 A
Who bow before you
                  A
In silence they pray
A
Oh how they pray for
     E       B          E    F#sus4 F#
The day the world gets round

B7
Using all it's found
             A              E  Esus4 E
To help each other hand in hand
     E       B           E
The day the world gets round
