Intro (spoken, over the main riff)
One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding, and it happened this way.
MI LA6 MI LA6 LA6 LAmaj7
The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
MI LA6 MI MI
The tired and the homeless had family all around
MI LA6 MI LA6 LA6 LAmaj7
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
MI LA6 MI
And the walls came tumblin' down.
MI LA / / / / / / / SI / / / / MIEE SI
People of the world all had it together,
LA / / / / / / / SI / / / / / MIEE SI
Had it together for the boys and the girls,
LA / / / / / / / SI / / / / / / /
Children of the world look forward to a future,
Remember
MI LA6 MI LA6 LA6 LAmaj7
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people,
MI LA6 MI MI
Time's tickin' away.
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people,
Time's ticking away.
I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me,
The worst of enemies became the best of friends
People of the world, all had it together,
Had it together for the boys and the girls,
Children of the world look forward to a future,
Remember, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people,
Time's ticking away
Remember that, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people,
Time's tickin' away.
