Oh well I wonder, [Ab]
yes I [Ab] wonder
[Fm]
What would happen, [Dbm]
[Db] what would [Bb] happen to this world?
Wonder [Eb]
this [Bbm] world
[Bb] [Ab]
Now if a man tried to take his time on earth
And [Bbm] prove before [Db] he died what one man's [Bb] life could be worth
Well I [F] wonder what would happen [Ab] to this world
And if [Ab] a woman, she used her lifeline
As [Db] something more than some man's [Bb] servant, mother, wife, son
[F] Well I wonder what would happen to this [Ab] world
Oh well I wonder, yes I wonder
What would [Db] happen, what [F] would happen to this world?
[Bb]
As [Db] I look around me [F] there's such strange things
There's muggers [Gb] and there's [Bb] jugglers and we are led by clowns
[Db] If an answer ever found us would [Ab] we change things?
[G] Or are we just a people [Fm] rotten ready for the [Fm] ground?
[Ab] You child, eyes on the final line
[Db] Are we brave enough to [Bb] see the signals and the signs?
[Db] I wonder [Bb] what would happen to this [Ab] world
We [Ab] see the people, we see them marching down

[Db]
Disciple children walk the [Ab] streets selling books and [Eb] flowers
And maybe the last ones were their semblance of a dream
[Db] If we say that no one's out there [Ab] and we say we're going nowhere
[Eb] Can we avoid the [Bbm] question, is this [Fm] all that it means?
If [Ab] a man tried to take his time on earth
And prove [Db] before he died what [Bb] wonders life could be worth
Well I wonder what would happen to this world
