If I Ruled the World- Tony Bennett, 1963 CM7 If I ruled the world, Every day would be the first day of spring, Every heart would have a new song to sing, And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring. CM7 If I ruled the world, Every man would be as free as a bird, Every voice would be a voice to be heard Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred. Bridge: AM7 My world, would be a beautiful place, AM7 Where we would weave such wonderful dreams; CM7 My world, would wear a smile on its face, Like the man in the moon when the moon beams. CM7 If I ruled the world, Every man would say the world was his friend, There'd be happiness that no man could end; No, my friend, not if I, ruled the world. Every head would be held up high, CM7 There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky, CM7 If the day ever dawned when I, ruled the world.
