Butch Hancock~What a World This Mess is In chords
Start Jamming...
[D] I couldn't think of a start.
[F#m] [B]
[D] Okay, that's [F#m] the second verse.
[D] Alright.
It's kind of [N] funny that I forgot it because the first one you'll see why.
Like, [G#] explaining why I [D] forgot it.
Well if I could get it all [F#m] together
I'd [G] be one
[D] But depending [F#m] on the weather
[G] I might put it off [A] till spring
[D]
Through the long [F#m] hot summer
[G] I'm waiting for [A] the fall
[F#m]
And [A] [D] winter [Bm] soon [D] reminds me
I'd [G] like to see that moon
[D]
There's green [F#m] leaves, then they're yellow
[G] Then they're brown, [D] and then they're gone
There's sunlight, [F#m] and then twilight
[G] And starlight [C#m] till the [A] dawn
The [D] screams of pain [F#m] and pleasure
And [G] whispers in [A] the wind
[F#m] I [A] [D]
sit here [Bm] and wonder
[G] What the world is [D] meant to be
I've done some mysterious causes
[F#m] And [G] there's scenes behind [D] the scenes
There's women [F#m] and men causes
[G] And there's men and [A] their machines
[D] There's ways to [F#m] know about
If [G] I get the chance [A] of it
[F#m]
[A] [D] I live in [Bm] constant [D] wonder
At [G] what the world is [D] meant to be
When [F#m] I feel the gentle breeze
[Bm] I wonder how it's stirred
When [F#m] I see a poor man's needs
I'll admit [G] my own needs [A] He'll observe
I [D] seem to [F#m] walk the line
Between [G] what will be and [A]
what's [C#] been
[F#m] [A] And [D] it's all [Bm] along that [D] line
When I see [G] what the world is meant [D] to be
[E] [F#m]
[G] [D]
[F#m] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] [C#] [Bm] [A] [G]
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [G] [D]
[F#m] Every time I listen
There's [Bm] nothing new to hear
Every [F#m] time I speak or sing
[G] I'm lost in [A] every word
[D] I always [F#m] want to go beyond
[Bm] Wherever [G] [D] I've [A] [C#]
[F#m] been
[A] But [D] here I [Bm] sit and [D] wonder
At [G] what the world is [D] meant to be
And it's all [Bm] along that line
[D] When I see [G] what the world is [D] meant to be
