Selfishness In Man

        A              D      
I saw a little beam of sunlight 
        A               E
steal across a purple sky
         D              A         
And bend down to kiss a rosebud, 
      B             E
oh, it made me wanna cry
              A             D     
To think that I had been permitted
          A                E
 to see a part of nature's plan
            D                   A 
Oh, there's nothin' that stands 
                D           E  A
out more than the selfishness in man

[Verse 2]
A                        D       
Little children paintin' pictures
        A               E
 of the birds and apple trees
        D                  A      
Oh, why can't the grown-up people 
         B               E
have the faith of one of these
       A                D     
And to think those tiny fingers 
        A                 E
might become a killer's hand
            D                   A 
Oh, there's nothing that stands 
                D           E  A
out more than the selfishness in 
man.


[Verse 3]
    E                A             
Why can't we see the folly and the 
E              A
uselessness of hate
           E             A     
Love could lead to understanding 
        B            E    A
maybe it's not too late
     A                            
Then perhaps through in His great 
D                A            E
wisdom, we might learn to understand
             D     A              
Then there'd be no shame or sorrow
     D              E  A
 and no selfishness in man.
