Intro:
[Fmaj7] [E7] [Am] [C]
[Fmaj7] [E7] [Am] [Am]
[Fmaj7] [E7] [Am] [Am]
[Fmaj7]Too many Florence [E7]Nightingales
[Am]Not enough Robin [C]Hoods
[Fmaj7]Too many halos [E7]not enough heroes
[Am]Coming up with the goods
So you [Fmaj7]thought you'd like to [E7]change the world
De[Am]cided to stage a [C]jumble sale
[Fmaj7] For the [E7]poor for the [Am]poor
So you [Fmaj7]thought you'd like to [E7]see them healed
[Am]Got Blue Peter to [C]stage an appeal
Fmaj7 E7 Am (let ring)
For the poor for the poor
Its a [Fmaj7]waste of time if you [E7]know what they mean
Try [Am]shaking your box in [C]front of the Queen
'Cause her [Fmaj7]purse is full and [E7]bursting at the seams
Its a [Am]waste of time if you know what they mean
[Fmaj7] [E7] [Am] [Am]
[Fmaj7] [E7] [Am] [Am]
[Fmaj7]Too many hands in [E7]too many pockets
[Am]Not enough hands on [C]hearts
[Fmaj7]Too many ready to [E7]call it a day
[Am]Before the day starts
So you [Fmaj7]thought you'd like to [E7]see them healed
[Am]Got Blue Peter to [C]stage an appeal
[Fmaj7] For the [E7]poor for the [Am]poor
So you [Fmaj7]thought you'd like to [E7]change the world
