Intro:

C    F  C


Verse 1:
C                           F          C
Woke up this mornin' with a beat in my heart
 G
Considerin' the opposite, you could say that's a start
 C                                F                C
Like a seed that ain't sprouted, like a tree that's gone burled
Am              G            C
Darlin', it's a cruel, cruel world

Chorus:
 Em                        C
I don't wish for pain and I don't dream of war
 Em                        C
When will it all end? What are we killin' for?
 Em                         Am         F
The man takes and he takes, and he only wants more
 C           G            C
It's evil, plain evil, to the core


Verse 2:
C                          F           C
How can you climb when you ain't got a dime?
 G
Workin' your life away 'til you die
 C                            F        C
Can't pay what you owe 'em, not in this lifetime
Am              G       C
Darlin', it's a nursery rhyme


Chorus:
 Em                        C
I don't wish for pain and I don't dream of war
 Em                          C
I Am callin' for peace, what are we killin' for?
 Em                      Am          F
They broke Hell wide open, let the dark fire unfurl
C               G            C
Darlin', it's a cruel, cruel world


Outro:
 Am      G      C
Like a twisted tilt-a-whirl
 Am   G         C
Like a sour ice cream swirl
Am              G      C     F
Darlin', it's a cruel—
 C        G  C
Cruel world
