Our daughter told me I might just do a little more to save the world.
So I had to write this song.
Everybody could do a little more, but it´s not easy sometimes.
lyrics
Shape Of The World Jan Hauenstein
(Am) (Dm6) (E7) (Am) (G)
(Am)Watching the news tends to give me the blues,
(Fj7)Shape of the world, (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
The (Am)smoke in the air is toxic, beware,
That´s the (Fj7)shape of the world, the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
(Am)Plastic in the water, explain that to your daughter,
(Fj7)Shape of the world, the sorry (Am)shape of the world. (Em) (Fj7) (G)
(Dm6)Does it shake you, (E7)will it wake you,
The (Am)shape of the world, (G) shape of the (Am)world? (Dm6) (E7) (Am) (G)
(Am)Ruthless men in power, evil deeds every hour,
(Fj7)Shape of the world, explain the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
(Am)Fake news and treason are the reason
For the (Fj7)shape of the world, the sorry (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
The (Am)fascist beast has come back to feast,
(Fj7)Shape of the world, that´s the (Am)shape of the world. (Em) (Fj7) (G)
(Dm6)Does it shake you, (E7)will it wake you,
The (Am)shape of the world, (G) the shape of the (Am)world? (Dm6) (E7) (Am) (G)
(Am)Hunger and despair, few really care
About the (Fj7)shape of the world, the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
Refu(Am)gees on the run, explain that to your son,
Ah, the (Fj7)shape of the world, the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
(Am)World´s in danger, there´s no lone ranger
Can (Fj7)change the (Am)shape of the world. (Em) (Fj7) (G)
(Dm6)Does it shake you, (E7)will it wake you,
The (Am)shape of the world, (G) shape of the (Am)world? (Dm6) (E7) (Am) (G)
I (Am)ride my motor bike, because that´s what I like,
Damn the (Fj7)shape of the world, the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
Love to (Am)eat and drink well, just go to hell,
(Fj7)Shape of the world, damn the (Am)shape of the world. (Cj7) (D)
I don´t have (Am)many more years, can´t shed too many tears
About the (Fj7)shape of the world, the sad (Am)shape of the world. (Em) (Fj7) (G)
- Instrumental, chorus chords -
(Am)Greed in power burns the world every hour,
That´s the (Fj7)shape of the world, (Am) the desperate shape of the world.

More than background music.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
