What A Wonderful World

Words & Music:

Louis Armstrong

 

      F        Am    Bb          Am

I see trees of green, red roses, too.

Gm7        F     A7          Dm

I see them bloom, for me and you,

      Db       Gm7/C   C7     F   F+  BbM7  C7

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

 

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,

Db    Gm7/C      C7    F   F+  BbM7 F   Bb   F

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

 

BRIDGE:

    C7                        F

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

    C7                   F

Are also on the faces of people going by

      Dm              C               Dm         C

I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"

Dm             F#dim7   Gm7  F#dim7  Gm7     C7

They're really saying,  "I   love    you."   I hear

Babies cry, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,

Db    Gm7/C      C7   F    F+ BbM7 C7  F  Am7b5

And I think to myself what a wonderful world

 

D7     Gm7          Gm7/C     C7b9       F  Bb6  F

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
