O^Dh, a thousand marching armies and a ^Gmillion marching ^Dmen Have won the wide world over and lo^Est it back a^Again, Bu^Dt now the word has gone to ev^G'ry fallen la^Dnd, That this old ^Aworld is changing ^Dhands.

F^Drom the master to the servant, from ^Gthe owner to the ^Dslave, Colonial days are buried in a deep ^Eand dirty gr^Aave. ^DIt's so easy to see and well ^Gto understand^D That this old ^Aworld is changing ^Dhands.

W^Dashington and Jefferson and ^GPatrick Henry ^Dtoo, They knew what they were doing when they ^Estarted something ^Anew. It^D was in this giant land of ^Gours that it all ^Dbegan When this old ^Aland was changing ^Dhands.

A^Dnd when World War Two was ^Grollin' by, the ^Dtide was on its way. Many countries had to listen to the ^Ewords they had to ^Asay, And the ^Dword was spread by millions, all of^G yellow, blac^Dk, and tan, That this old ^Aworld is changing ^Dhands.

N^Dow Africa and Asia and th^Ge Caribbean shore^D No longer can be counted as t^Ehe spoils of ^Awar. Th^Dey were bought and sold together; now togethe^Gr they will s^Dtand, For this old w^Aorld is changing h^Dands.
