Heart and soul, took con-trol, took con-trol of me-e-e.
G------------------------------------------------------------5vvv-7-----|vvvv
A---------------------------------7vvvv---------------------------------|
Paid my dues, spread the news, hands a-cross the sea.

Put me down, turn me 'round, turn me 'round to see.
B----------------------------5-----------------------------6p5-------|
G-----------------------5-7----5h7vvv------------------5h7-----7-----|
Mar-bled halls, op-en doors, and some-one found the key.

And it's on-ly what you do,
That keeps it com-ing back on you.

And it's on-ly what you say,/ / that can give your-self a-way.

Un-der-ground, sight and sound, hu-man sym-pho-ny-y-y.

Heard the voice, had no choice,
need-ed to be free.

Fly me high, touch the sky, left the earth be-low.

Heard the line, saw the sign, knew which way to go.
'Cause it's ea-si-er to try, than to prove it can't be done.
And it's ea-si-er to stay, than to turn a-round and run.
It's a blue world, it takes some-body
(blue, blue,world,world,world)
to help some-bo-dy, ahh-ahah-ahh. It's a blue world,
it's a new world.
(new world,world,world)
B--------------------------13---13-15-13---13-15-----|vvvv
You need some-body, to love some-bo-dy, ahh-ahah-ahh.
It's a new world.
A bit of keyboard here with intro bass again.
Heart and soul, took con-trol, took con-trol of me-e-e.
Paid my dues, spread the news, hands a-cross the sea.
