VERSE 1
[E minorEm]Sunday morning, I heard the [D MajorD]preacher say
[C majorC]~TThou shall not kill~T
[E minorEm]I don't wanna hear [D MajorD]nothing else about [C majorC]killing
And that it's God's will
[E minorEm]'Cause our children are [D MajorD]watching us
They put their [C majorC]trust in us
They're gonna be like us
[E minorEm]So let's learn from our [D MajorD]history
And do it [C majorC]differently
CHORUS
I [G+G]hope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We'll have more than we'll ever need
I [C majorC]hope
We'll have more happy ever afters
I [G+G]hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can [D MajorD]lose all the [C majorC]pain and mis[G+G]ery
I hope
I hope
VERSE 2
[E minorEm]Oh Rosie, her man [D MajorD]he gets too rough
[C majorC]That's all she can say,
[E minorEm]Is he's a good man
He don't [D MajorD]mean no harm
He was [C majorC]just brought up that way
[E minorEm]But our children are [D MajorD]watching us
They put their [C majorC]trust in us
They're gonna be like us
[E minorEm]It's okay for us to [D MajorD]disagree
We can [C majorC]work it out lovingly
REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We'll have more than we'll ever need
I [C majorC]hope
We'll have more happy ever afters
I [G+G]hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can [D MajorD]lose all the [C majorC]pain and mis[G+G]ery
I hope
I hope
I hope
I hope
I hope
