Em7If DM7I ruled the world,
Every Am7day would D7be the C#m7first day of F#7spring,
C#m7Every F#7heart would have a Bmnew song to Bm7sing,
And we'd Bm7sing of the F#m7joy every morning would Em7bring. A7
Em7If DM7 I ruled the world
Every man Am7would D7be as C#m7free as a F#7bird,
C#m7Every F#7voice would be a Bmvoice to be Bm7heard Bm
Take my Bm7word, we would F#m7treasure each Em7day that F#7occurred.
Bridge:
My woBM7rld, G#m would be a C#m7beautiful F#7place,
Where we would BM7weave such Em7wonderful A7dreams;
My DM7world, Bm7 would wear a Em7smile on its A7face,
Like the Bmman in the Bm7moon when the G#m7moon Em7beams. A7
Em7If DM7 I ruled the world,
Every Am7man would D7say the C#m7world was his F#7friend,
C#m7There'd be F#7happiness that Bmno man could Bm7end; Bm
No, my Bm7friend, not if I,F#m7 ruled the B7world.
Every Emhead would be Em7held up A7high,
There'd be DM7sunshine in everyone's B7sky,
If the Em7day ever GM7dawned when I,Em7 A7ruled the DM7world.
