Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 1st

(capo 1st fret)

      G+G
Oh well I wonder...

     G7G7
Yes I wonder...

       C majorC
What would happen....

       A7A7
What would happen to this world...

    G6G6        D7D7       C/GC/G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world...

     G+G
Now if a man tried to take his time on earth

      C majorC              A7A7
And prove before he died what one man's life could be worth

    G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world


      G+G
And if a woman she used her life line

       C majorC           A7A7
As something more than some man's servant, mother, wife time

     G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world


      G+G
Oh well I wonder...

     G7G7
Yes I wonder...

       C majorC
What would happen....

       A7A7
What would happen to this world...

     G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world...

C majorC                 E minor 7Em7
As I look around me there's some strange things

     D7D7
There's muggers and there's jugglers

G7G7
We are lead by clowns

    C majorC
If an answer ever found us

      E minor 7Em7
Would we change things?

  D7D7              E minorEm
Or are we just a people rotten ready for the ground


       G+G
And if our future lies on the final line

     C majorC            A7A7
Are we brave enough to see the signals and the signs

  G+G         D7D7      C majorC  G+G
I wonder what would happen to this world


       G+G
We see the people, we see them marchin' down

    C majorC            A7A7
Do we join the parade or do we try and turn around

     G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world


      G+G
Oh well I wonder...

    G7G7
Yes I wonder...

       C majorC
What would happen....

       A7A7       G+G
What would happen to this world...

     G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world...


  C majorC
Disciple children walk the streets

 E minor 7Em7
Selling books and flowers

D7D7                  G7G7
Can they be the last ones with a semblance of a dream

    C majorC
If we say that no one's out there

    E minor 7Em7
And we say we're goin' no where

  D7D7             E minorEm
Can we avoid the question "Is this all that it means?"


     G+G
Now if a man tried to take his time on earth

      C majorC              A7A7
And prove before he died what one man's life could be worth

    G6G6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world


      G+G
Oh well I wonder...

    G7G7
Yes I wonder..

       C majorC
What would happen....

       A7A7
What would happen to this world...

     C6C6        D7D7      C majorC  G+G
Well I wonder what would happen to this world...

    G6G6        D7D7      C/GC/G      G+G
