Riff after chorus:
e|-----------------------|
B|---2/6----6/7----7/9---|
BF#
When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes
BF#
Human nature keeps on spreading its disease
BF#
And our children keep growing up with what they know
G#C#
From what we teach and what they see
BF#
And it's only a question of the time we have
BC#
And the lives that our children need
BF#
Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know
G#C#
And what we teach, and what they see
F#
Like giving food to the hungry,
B
Hope to the needy,
C#
Giving life to a baby,
B
Giving care for free,
F#
'Cause there is freedom around us,
B
We have everything we need,
C#
And I will care for you,
B
'Cause you care for me.
F#
And we all have opinions,
B
Some of them get through,
C#
But theres better people,
B
With more good to do.
F#C#
Good to do
F#C#
Oooo good to do
