If I Ruled the World Lyrics

M7 M7/6 M7
If I ruled the world,
Ev'ry day would be the first day of spring,
Ev'ry heart would have a new song to sing,
And we'd sing of the joy ev'ry morning would bring.
M7 M7/6M7
If I ruled the world,
Ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard -
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.
Bridge:
M7
My world would be a beautiful place,
M7 M7/6
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
M7
My world would wear a smile on its face,
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams. *
M7 M7/6 M7
If I ruled the world,
Ev'ry man would say the world was his friend,
There'd be happiness that no man could end;
No, my friend, not if I ruled the world.
Ev'ry head would be held up high,
M7
There'd be sunshine in ev'ryone's sky,
M7 M7
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.
