I'd Love To Change The World

Words & Music:

Alvin Lee (Ten Years After)

 

Em   G   Am   C   B7  [2x]

 

Em            G                   Am

Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies,

C       B7       Em  G  Am  C  B7

Tell me where is sanity

Tax the rich, feed the poor,

'Til there are no rich no more.

 

CHORUS:

    Em                       G      Am         C       B7

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do.

So, I leave it up to you.

 

Population keeps on breeding, nation bleeding,

Still more feeding, economy.

Life is funny, skies are sunny, bees make honey.

Who needs money?  Monopoly.

 

CHORUS:

 

World pollution, there's no solution,

Institution, electrocution.

Spread the word, rich or poor,

Them and us, stop the war.

 

CHORUS:
