It's A Beautiful World

VERSE 1
C
When the lights go out in the street
F
The bums and dregs have long been asleep
C                             A
Ain't nobody gonna trifle with me
D          G         C
Cause it's a beautiful world

VERSE 2
We were young we were hungry and mean
With missing fingers, scars inbetween
When hunger's king and poverty's queen
It's a beautiful world

BRIDGE 1

        F                        G
There's a blue sky hanging over our head
     C                            F
Your friends are all drunk and your enemies dead
       F           G
The county judge is wondering why
      C          F
He tips his hat as he walks by
        F                 G
There's a hangman and he's stretching the sun
C                    F
Swings once a day from dusk until dawn
C                                        A
When the river of life fills up with your blood
D     G       C
It's a beautiful world


BRIDGE 2
F
Yea can you see the power lines
C
Going out of business and a one way sign
F
God in heaven or the man on the moon
D                       G
I can't find no elbow room

VERSE 3
The ship is sinking with no mayday
A thousand people drowning out in the bay
Sit and smile while you dabble away
It's a beautiful world
