(Note:  This version is transposed -4 semitones from the original because I
find this key easier to play in on piano.  Just set the transpose function 
above to 'up 4 half-steps' if you want the original key.  Also, the chords in parenthesis 
are alternate chords--both sound good, but I like the first best.)

(Same pattern for the rest of the song)
Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here beside the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
every world is my world
