[Verse 1]

D
I don't know what the world may need
       G
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
            Cadd9   G      D
and that's a wisdom, I've laughed at
D
I don't know what the world may want
     G
but a good stiff drink it surely don't
     Cadd9             G            D
so I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.


[Chorus]

               D
'Cause what the world needs now
    G
is a new kind of tension
           Cadd9        G           D
'cause the old one just bores me to death.

                D
'Cause what the world needs now
   Cadd9        G
is another folk singer
     Cadd9    G          D
like I need a hole in my head.


[Verse 2]

D
I don't know what the world may need
       G
but a V-8 engine's a good start for me
            Cadd9           G           D
think I'll drive and find a place to be surly.
D
I don't know what the world may want
         G
but some words of wisdom could comfort us
            Cadd9        G          D
think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.


[Chorus]

                D
'Cause what the world needs now
         Cadd9         G
are some true words of wisdom
     Cadd9       G          D
like la la la la la la la la la.
                D
'Cause what the world needs now
     Cadd9      G
is another folk singer
     Cadd9    G          D
like I need a hole in my head.

[Verse 3]

D
I don't know what the world may need
       G
and I'll never grasp its complexities
            Cadd9    G          D
I'd be happy just to get your attention
D
I don't know what the world may want
       G
but your long sweet body lying next to mine
            Cadd9   G           D
could certainly...    raise my spirits.


[Chorus]

                D
'Cause what the world needs now
     Cadd9       G
is a new Frank Sinatra
   Cadd9 G          D
so I can get you in bed.
                D
'Cause what the world needs now
     Cadd9      G
is another folk singer
     C        G          D
like I need a hole in my head.

                D
'Cause what the world needs now
     Cadd9       G
is a new Frank Sinatra
   Cadd9 G          D
so I can get you in bed.
                D
'Cause what the world needs now
     Cadd9      G
is another folk singer
     Cadd9    G          D
like I need a hole in my head.
