If I ruled th[Em7]e wo[DM7]rld,
Every [Am7]day would [D7]be the [C#m7]first day of [F#7]spring,
[C#m7]Every [F#7]heart would have a [Bm]new song to [Bm7]sing,
And we'd [Bm7]sing of the [F#m7]joy every morning would [Em7]bring.[A7]
[Em7]If [DM7] I ruled the world
Every man [Am7]would [D7]be as [C#m7]free as a [F#7]bird,
[C#m7]Every [F#7]voice would be a [Bm]voice to be [Bm7]heard[Bm]
Take my [Bm7]word, we would [F#m7]treasure each [Em7]day that [F#7]occurred.
Bridge:
My wo[BM7]rld, [G#m] would be a [C#m7]beautiful [F#7]place,
Where we would [BM7]weave such [Em7]wonderful [A7]dreams;
My [DM7]world, [Bm7] would wear a [Em7]smile on its [A7]face,
Like the [Bm]man in the [Bm7]moon when the [G#m7]moon [Em7]beams.[A7]
[Em7]If [DM7] I ruled the world,
Every [Am7]man would [D7]say the [C#m7]world was his [F#7]friend,
[C#m7]There'd be [F#7]happiness that [Bm]no man could [Bm7]end;[Bm]
No, my [Bm7]friend, not if I,[F#m7] ruled the [B7]world.
Every [Em]head would be [Em7]held up [A7]high,
There'd be [DM7]sunshine in everyone's [B7]sky,
If the [Em7]day ever [GM7]dawned when I,[Em7] [A7]ruled the [DM7]world.
Every [Am7]day would [D7]be the [C#m7]first day of [F#7]spring,
[C#m7]Every [F#7]heart would have a [Bm]new song to [Bm7]sing,
And we'd [Bm7]sing of the [F#m7]joy every morning would [Em7]bring.[A7]
