If I Ruled the World- Tony Bennett, 1963
Dm7 CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7 C7 Bm7 E7
Every day would be the first day of spring,
Bm7 E7 Am Am7
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
Am7 Em7 Dm7 G7
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.
Dm7 CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7 C7 Bm7 E7
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Bm7 E7 Am Am7 Am
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Am7 Em7 Dm7 E7
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.
Bridge:
AM7 F#m Bm7 E7
My world, would be a beautiful place,
AM7 Dm7 G7
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;
CM7 Am7 Dm7 G7
My world, would wear a smile on its face,
Am Am7 F#m7 Dm7 G7
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams.
Dm7 CM7
If I ruled the world,
Gm7 C7 Bm7 E7
Every man would say the world was his friend,
Bm7 E7 Am Am7 Am
There'd be happiness that no man could end;
Am7 Em7 A7
No, my friend, not if I, ruled the world.
Dm Dm7 G7
Every head would be held up high,
CM7 A7
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
Dm7 FM7 Dm7 G7 CM7
If the day ever dawned when I, ruled the world.
