Intro :  F2   C/E   Dm7   F/G   G7


C
There comes a time when
F/C    G/C     C
We heed a certain call
F         G7              C   F/C   C
When the world must come together as one
Am
There are people dying, oh and
Em
It's time to lend a hand
Dm7       Dm7/F            G4    G7
To life, the greatest gift of all
C                 F/C     G/C    C
And We can't go on pretending day by day
F        G7                     C   F/C   C
That someone, somewhere we'll soon make a change.
Am                  Em
We are all a part of God's great big family,
Dm7
And the truth,
Dm7/F          G4    G7
You know love is all we need



E/C     F      G7            C
We are the world,    we are the children,
F
We are the ones who make
G                  C
A brighter day so let's start giving
Am
Oh! There's a choice we're makin'
Em
We're savin' our own lives,
Dm7                      F/G
It's true we'll make a better day
C   F/C   C   F/C
Just you and me



Oh, send theme your hearts so they
Know that someone cares
And our lives will be stronger
And free
As God has shown us by turnin'
Stone to bread
And so we all must lend
A helping hand



E/C     F      G7            C
We are the world,    we are the children,
F
We are the ones who make
G                  C
A brighter day so let's start giving
Am
Oh! There's a choice we're makin'
Em
We're savin' our own lives,
Dm7                      F/G
It's true we'll make a better day
C   F/C   C   F/C
Just you and me



Ab
When you're down and out and
Bb                C   F/C   C
There seems no hope at all
Ab
But if we just believe there's
Bb            C
No way we can fall
Am
Let us re-a lize
Em
Oh! that a change can only come
Dm7   Dm7/F             G4   G
When we    stand together as one



E/C     F      G7            C
We are the world,    we are the children,
F
We are the ones who make
G                  C
a brighter day so let's start giving
Am
Oh! There's a choice we're makin'
Em
We're savin' our own lives,
Dm7                      F/G
It's true we'll make a better day
C   F/C   C   F/C
Just you and me        (Ad libitum)
