   D                                       E7
1. I’d like to build the world a home and furnish it with love
          A                              G                A7
   Grow apple trees and honey bees and turtle snow-white doves
        D                                            E7   
   I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
        A                              G         D
   I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

Refrain
   D
   That’s the song I hear
                        E7
   Let the world sing today
      A
   A song of peace that echoes on
        G            D
   And never fades away

2. I’d like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
   And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land.
   I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
   I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

Refrain

Together 1st (2nd)
   That’s the song I hear (I’d like to teach the world to sing)
   Let the world sing today (In perfect harmony)
   A song of peace that echoes on and never fades away
   (I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company)

Refrain
