G
I'd like to build the world a home

        A7
And furnish it with love ,

          D
Grow appletrees and honeybees

        C                         G
And snowwhite turtle doves.

     G
I'd like to teach the world to sing

    A7
In perfect harmony,

    D
I'd like to hold it in my arms                                                      

        C                      G
And keep it company.

     G
I'd like to see the world for once                                                   

      A7
All standing hand in hand,                                                       

        D
And hear them echo through the hills                                      

       C                                  G
For peace throughout the land.

G
That's the song I hear,

                                  A7
Let the world sing today,

    D
A song of peace that echoes on

        C                   G
And never goes away.

I'd like to build the world a home...
