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)
