What A Wonderful World
by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss
I see [F] trees of [Am] green, [Bb] red roses [Am] too
[Gm7] I see them [F] bloom, [A7] for me and [Dm] you,
And I [Db] think to myself [Gm7] ,
What a [C7] wonderful [F] world.
[F+ Bbmaj7 C7]
I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
[F Bb F]
The [C7] colors of the rainbow, so [F] pretty in the sky
Are [C7] also on the faces of [F] people goin' by
I see [Dm] friends shaking [C] hands, saying,
[Dm] "How do you [C] do?"
[Dm] They're really [F#dim7] saying,
[Gm7] I [F#dim7] love [Gm7] you. [C7] I hear
[F] Babies [Am] cry, I [Bb] watch them [Am] grow
[Gm7] They'll learn much [F] more than [A7] I'll ever [Dm] know,
And I [Db] think to myself [Gm7]
what a [C7] wonderful [F] world
[Am7b5 D7]
Yes I [Gm7] think to myself [C7b9],
what a wonderful [F] world.
[Bb6 F(high)]
