[Verse 1]
    D
I'd like to build the world a home
    E
And furnish it with love
     A
Grow apple trees and honey bees
    G                 D 
And snow white turtle doves

[Chorus]
    D
I'd like to teach the world to sing
   E 
In perfect harmony
    A
I'd like to hold it in my arms
    G            D
And keep it company

[Verse 2]
     D
I'd like to see the world for once
    E 
All standing hand in hand
    A
And hear them echo through the hills
    G                     D
For peace through out the land  

[Interlude]
           D                                                
That's the song I hear. (Sing it along)
                     E
Let the world sing today 
          A  
(Over and over) oh yeah
    D
I'd like to teach the world to sing
   E            A
In perfect harmony
          D                      E
Laa la la laah, Do-do dooh do-do dooh
          A
Ahh ha ha haah ahaa ha ha
G     D
La la laah

[Verse 3]

I'd like to build the world a home

And snow white turtle doves (that's the song I hear)

[Chorus]
    D
I'd like to teach the world to sing (let the world sing)
   E 
In perfect harmony (hand in hand)
        A 
And I'd like to hold it in my arms
    G            D
And keep it company (that's the song I hear)
