Intro:

D  G, D  A (x2)

Verse 1:

D             D/C#           Bm            G   D/F#  Em
 Man made the buildings that reach for the sky.
    D            D/C#         Bm             G    D/F#  Em
And man made the motorcar and learned how to drive.

Bridge 1:

       Bm              A
But he didn't make the flowers,
       G               D     Dsus4  D, D  Dsus4  D
And he didn't make the trees.
       Bm          A
And he didn't make you,
       G           D  Dsus4  D, D  Dsus4  D
And he didn't make me.

         Em     F#m
And he's got no right,
   G    D/F# Em      A      Asus4  A, Asus4  A
To turn us   into ma-chines.

Chorus 1:

     D      G        A         D      G         A
He's got no right at all, 'cos we are all God's children.
         D      G        A
And he's got no right to change us.
       Em       F#m
Oh, we gotta go back,
       G   D/F# Em        Asus4 A  D   Dsus4, D  Dsus4
To the way the  good Lord made  us all.

Break:

Em               F#m
 Don't want this world to change me,
  G                         D
I wanna go back the way the good Lord made me.
Em                  F#m
 Same lungs that he gave me to breathe with,
G                        Asus4 A
 Same eyes he gave me to see   with.

Verse 2:

        D             D/C#          Bm            G      D/F#  Em
Oh, the rich man, the poor man, the saint and the sinner.
    D             D/C#           Bm            G      D/F#  Em
The wise man, the simpleton, the loser and the winner.

Bridge 2:

Bm      A       G       D   Dsus4  D, D  Dsus4  D
 We are all the same to Him.
Em               F#m
 Stripped of our clothes,
    G   D/F#   Em        A    Asus4  A, Asus4  A
And all... the things we own.

Chorus 2:

    D        G      A     D      G         A
The day that we are born, we are all God's children.
         D      G        A
And he's got no right to change us.
       Em       F#m
Oh, we gotta go back,
       G   D/F# Em        Asus4  A
To the way the  good Lord made...

Chorus 3:

        G         A       D       G      A       D
Oh, the good Lord made us all and we are all His children.
         D      G        A
And he's got no right to change us.
       Em       F#m
Oh, we gotta go back,
       G   D/F# Em        Asus4 A  D
To the way the  good Lord made  us all.
         Em       F#m
Yeah, we gotta go back,
       G   D/F# Em        Asus4 A  D
To the way the  good Lord made  us all.
