Love in this world is so hard to find When you've got yours and I got mine. That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world They're down on me. Saying they're down on me, down on me. Looks like everybody in this whole round world Down on me. When you see a hand that's held out toward you, Give it some love, some day it may be you. That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world They're down on me, yeah. Lord, they're down on me, down on me, oh! Looks like everybody in this whole round world Is down on me. Believe in your brother, have faith in man, Help each other, honey, if you can Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world Is down on me. I'm saying down on me, oh, down on me, oh! It looks like everybody in this whole round world Down on me!! ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
