Em7 DM7
If  I   ruled the world,
      Am7        D7     C#m7         F#7
Every day  would be the first day of spring,
C#m7   F#7                Bm          Bm7
Every  heart would have a new song to sing,
         Bm7         F#m7                    Em7     A7
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

Em7 DM7
If   I    ruled the world
          Am7   D7    C#m7      F#7
Every man would be as free as a bird,
C#m7  F#7              Bm          Bm7      Bm
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
        Bm7            F#m7          Em7      F#7
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.

Bridge:
     BM7  G#m             C#m7      F#7
My world,      would be a beautiful place,
               BM7        Em7       A7
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
   DM7    Bm7               Em7          A7
My world,      would wear a smile on its face,
         Bm         Bm7           G#m7  Em7      A7
Like the man in the moon when the moon  beams.

Em7 DM7
If   I   ruled the world,
      Am7       D7      C#m7          F#7
Every man would say the world was his friend,
C#m7       F#7            Bm           Bm7   Bm
There'd be happiness that no man could end;

       Bm7              F#m7            B7
No, my friend, not if I,     ruled  the world.
      Em            Em7     A7
Every head would be held up high,
           DM7                    B7
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
       Em7      GM7           Em7 A7        DM7
If the day ever dawned when I,    ruled the world.
