[verse 1]
D          A          Bm                             F#m
You should see what a lovely, lovely world this could be

Everyone learns to live together
        D        F#7          Bm                    F#m  F#m7b5
Well it seems to me such an itty bitty thing should be
G                 D                    Em       A
Why can't you and me learn to love one another

If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
       G                    D                     Em       A
All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through
D        F#7          Bm                F#m  F#m7b5
Seems to me we got to solve it individually
G                 D                      Em       A
And I'll do unto you what you do to unto me


            G                D/F#          A/E    D
There'll be shouting from the mountains on out to sea
G            D/F#            A/E        D
No two ways about it, people have to be free
G         D/F#        A/E          D
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
       G            D/F#       A/E       Bm  Bm  A  G      Bm  Bm  A  G
It's a natural situation for a man to be free
