Standard (EADGBE)

I'd like to build the world a home

 And furnish it with love

 Grow apple trees and honey bees

 And snow-white turtle doves

Chorus

I'd like to teach the world to sing (To sing)

 In perfect harmony (In perfect harmony)

 I'd like to hold it in my arms

And keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once

 All standing hand in hand

 And hear them echo through the hills

 For peace throughout the land

(Thats the song that I hear)

Singin' along

Let the world sing today (Over and over)

 I'd like to teach the world to sing (Singin' along)

 In perfect harmony (Harmony)
