Intro 

Em  D  C  Em 

verse 1 

Em 
Heart and soul took control, 

Took control of me 
C 
Paid my dues spread the news, 
Em 
Hands across the sea 

Put me down turned me round, 

Turned me round to see 
C 
Marble halls open doors, 
Em 
Someone found the key 
         C 
And it's only what you do 
           Em 
That keeps coming back on you 
         C 
And it's only what you say 
         Em 
That can give yourself away 

verse 2 

Em 
Underground sight and sound, 

Human Symphony 
C 
Heard the voice had no choice, 
Em 
Needed to be free 

Fly me high touch the sky, 

Left the earth below 
C 
Heard the line saw the sign, 
Em 
Knew which way to go 
         C 
Cos it's easier to try 
        Em 
Than to prove it can't be done 
         C 
And it's easier to stay 
        Em 
Than to turn around and run 

       A    C 
It's a blue world 
   A                 G               A    C 
It takes somebody to help somebody   Ah...Ah 
          Em   G 
Oh it's a blue world 
       A   C 
It's a new world 
   A                 G               A    C 
It needs somebody to love somebody   Ah...Ah 
       Em 
It's a blue world
