The Singing Scoutmaster: I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

C                                 

I'd like to build a world a home  

    D7                    

And furnish it with love  

     G7                          

Grow apple trees and honey bees  

    F                 C      

And snow white turtle doves  

C                                    

I'd like to teach the world to sing  

   D7               

In perfect harmony  

    G7                          

I'd like to hold it in my arms  

    F          C     

And keep it company  

C                                   

I'd like to see the world for once  

    D7                     

All standing hand in hand  

    G7                                

And hear them echo through the hills  

    F                    C     

For peace throughout the land

C                       

That's the song I hear  

                      D7   

Let the world song to-day
