CHANGE THE WORLD
INTRO (prior to each verse) – G, F, C (2x)

G                   F        C
I read the papers today and what did I see
G                F        C
People dying they’ve got nothing to eat
G                F        C
Bloated bellies making babies look old
G
Momma’s hollow eyes watching
F              C
As her baby grows cold

CHORUS
F                     C     G
Won’t you help me change the world?
F                     C     G
Won’t you help me change the world?
F                     C     G
Won’t you help me change the world?
F                     G
Won’t you help me change the world?

G                    F      C
You remember Sally, she was only thirteen
G
She grew up in a home where love didn’t
F     C
mean a thing
G
Now she lives in Hollywood with the
F          C
sweat and the smell
G
She gave her life away, you know,
F                C
Every night it’s up for sale

CHORUS

G
Timmy Brown, playing in his yard,
    F         C
just lately turned nine
G
He was just playing with his sister and
F          C
having a good time
G
The car that drove by meant to shoot
F           C
someone else instead
G
But that don’t matter now, because,
F                       C
Timmy Brown and his sister are dead

CHORUS

G
Little boy, rushing home,
      F         C
doesn’t know what to expect
G
He knows his father’s been drinkin’
       F       C
and he’s gonna be upset
G
His father lost his job, you know,
         F           C
so now he drinks and gets mad
G
He knows his father loves him
F                        C
And it really won’t, won’t hurt so bad

FINAL CHORUS
F                     C     G

Won’t you help me change the world?   (3X)

Won’t you help me, please please help me, change
   G    F         G   F
the world? Change the world?
F             G   F
We can change the world (3X)
F              G
You can change the world
