[Intro]
G C D7 G  x2
 
G                           G D7 G
They're rioting in Africa
         C           G      C D7  G
They're starving in Spain
G                              G  D7 G
There's hurricanes in Florida
    C      D7    G     C  D7  G
And Texas needs rain
 
    D7
The whole world is festering
     G
With unhappy souls
    C               G
The French hate the Germans
    A7                 D7
The Germans hate the Poles
  D7
Italians hate Yugoslavs
      G
South Africans hate the Dutch
    C            D7           G     D7  G
And I don't like anybody very much
 
    G          C
But we can be tranquil
    A7             D
And thankful and proud
    C           G
For man's been endowed
        C               D7
With a mushroom shaped cloud
 
    G           C             A7         D
And we know for certain that some lovely day
C                    G
Someone will set the spark off
    C               D7     G    C  D7  G
And we will all be blown away!
 
G                          G  D7  G
They're rioting in Africa
         C         G     C  D7  G
There's strife in Iran
      G                       G  D7  G
What nature doesn't do to us
         C           D7    whatever
Will be done by our fellow man
