CHORUS:
Am7/D     Bm7         Em7    Bm7         Em7
What  the world needs now is love, sweet love,
C6                  C            Bm       D7 
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
         Bm7         Em7    Bm7         Em7
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, 
C6                             B       B7
No, not just for some, but for everyone. 

#2.
Em7
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
          Dm9           G9/6       Cm7
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb.
C6        Dm7        G9/6    Cm7 
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, 
 Em7            A7              D9
Enough to last, till the end of time. 

CHORUS:

#3.
Em7
Lord, we don't need another meadow,
          Dm9            G9/6          Cm7
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow,
C6        Dm7          G9/6       Cm7
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
    Em7           A7             D9
Oh, listen, Lord, if you want to know. 

CHORUS:

REPEAT #3.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
