I see trees of green,              red ros-es too

I see them blo-om                  for me and you

4   4   4   4  4   4                4   4  -3   4  -4   5
And I think to my-self             what a won-der-ful world

-2 -3   4   4  6                   -6   -6    -6   6
I see skies of blue                and clouds of white

-5   -5      -5     5              -4   -4   -4     4
The bright blessed day,            the dark sac-red night

Are al-so on the fa-ces            of peop-le go-ing by

I hear babies cry,                 I watch them grow

-5      -5    -5   5              -4    -4   -4   4 
They'll learn much more            than I'll ever know

And I think to my-self             what a won-der-ful world
