              Intro: G Em7 Am7 D7/9- G Em7 Am7 D7/9- 
 
G      C        G      F          C              Dm7         Em       E7         Am7    
I see trees of green, red roses, too, I see them bloom for me and for you 
       F             F# G           G7       C 
And I think to myself,    "It's a wonderful world" 
G      C         G    F         C 
I see skies of blue, clouds of white 
     Dm7           Em            E7           Am7    
The bright blessed days and the dark sacred nights 
       F               F#  G                    C 
And I think to myself,       "What a wonderful world" 
     G                          C 
The colors of the rainbow, so bright up in the sky 
     G                      C 
Are also on the faces of people passin' by 
        Am             Em              Am         Em 
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin',  "How do you do" 
 Am             Em      D7M  Am  G   G        C     G         F          C 
They're really sayin',  "I love you." I hear babies cry, and watch them grow 
         Dm7          Em        E7           Am7    
They'll learn so much more than I will ever know 
       F              F# G                     C 
And I think to myself,    "It's a wonderful world"

     G                          C

And I think to myself,    "It's a wonderful world" 
G      C       G          F         C 
I hear babies cry, and watch them grow 
        Dm7           Em        E7           Am7
