I saw a little beam of sunlight steal across a purple sky

And bend down to kiss a rosebud, oh, it made me wanna cry
  A augmentedA             D MajorD        A augmentedA        E MajorE
To think that I had been per mitted to see a part of nature's plan
      D MajorD          A augmentedA         D MajorD      E MajorE A augmentedA
Oh, there's nothin' that stands out more than the selfishness in man

    D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
Little children paintin' pictures of the birds and apple trees

Oh, why can't the grown up people have the faith of one of these
    D MajorD        G+G         D MajorD        A augmentedA
And to think those tiny fingers might be come a killer's hand

Love could lead to under standing maybe it's not loo late

Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness in man.
