I Wonder What Would Happen To This World Chords & Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Oh well I wo[G]nder...

Yes I won[G7]der...

What would hap[C]pen....

What would ha[A7]ppen to this world...

Well I w[G6]onder what would h[D7]appen to this w[C/G]orld...


Now if a m[G]an tried to take his time on earth

And prove be[C]fore he died what one man's l[A7]ife could be worth

Well I w[G6]onder what would h[D7]appen to this [C]worl[G]d


And if a wo[G]man she used her life line

As something m[C]ore than some man's ser[A7]vant, mother, wife time

Well I wo[G6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]worl[G]d


Oh well I wo[G]nder...

Yes I won[G7]der...

What would ha[C]ppen....

What would ha[A7]ppen to this world...

Well I wo[G6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]world[G] ...


[C]As I look around me there's some st[Em7]range things

There's mu[D7]ggers and there's jugglers

[G7]We are lead by clowns

If an an[C]swer ever found us

Would we ch[Em7]ange things?

Or [D7]are we just a people rotten r[Em]eady for the ground

And if our fu[G]ture lies on the final line

Are we br[C]ave enough to see the si[A7]gnals and the signs

I wo[G]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]worl[G]d


We see the pe[G]ople, we see them marchin' down

Do we j[C]oin the parade or do we [A7]try and turn around

Well I wo[G6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]worl[G]d


Oh well I wo[G]nder...

Yes I wo[G7]nder...

What would ha[C]ppen....

What would ha[A7]ppen to this wo[G]rld...

Well I wo[G6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]worl[G]d...


Dis[C]ciple children walk the streets

S[Em7]elling books and flowers

[D7]Can they be the last ones with a semb[G7]lance of a dream

If we s[C]ay that no one's out there

And we [Em7]say we're goin' no where

Can [D7]we avoid the question "Is t[Em]his all that it means?"

Now if a m[G]an tried to take his time on earth

And prove be[C]fore he died what one man's l[A7]ife could be worth

Well I w[G6]onder what would h[D7]appen to this [C]worl[G]d


Oh well I w[G]onder...

Yes I wo[G7]nder..

What would ha[C]ppen....

What would ha[A7]ppen to this world...

Well I wo[C6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this [C]worl[G]d...

Yes I wo[G6]nder what would ha[D7]ppen to this w[C/G]orld [G]
