If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring,
[A#] [Am] [F] [C] [Fm]
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
[Fm7] [Fm] [C] [A#] [Am] [Gm]
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world, every man would be as free as a bird,
[A#] [Am] [F] [C] [Fm]
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
[Fm7] [C] [A#] [Am] [Gm]
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occ-urred.
[Am] [C] [Am] [C] [Em]
My world, would be a beautyful place,
[Dm] [C] [F] [Am] [C] [Em] [G] [C]
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
[Am7] [Am] [G]
My world, would wear a smile on its face,
[Am] [C] [G] [Fm] [E7] [Dm]
Like the man, in the moon has, when the moon be-ams.
[G7] [CM7] [A#] [Am] [C] [F] [C] [Fm]
If I ruled the world, every man would say the world was his friend,

There'd be hap-pi-ness that no man could end;
[C] [Fm] [C]
No, my friend, not if I, ruled the world.
[A#] [C] [Cm] [Dm] [C] [Dm] [Cm]
Every head would be held up high, there’d be sunshine in eve-ry-one's sky,
[A#] [C] [A#] [Dm] [Fm] [Dm7] [C] [F] [G] [Fm]
If the day ev-er dawned when I, ru–uled, the, wo-or - or- rld.
