Fmaj7 E7
Too many Florence Nightingales
Am C
Not enough Robin Hoods
Fmaj7 E7
Too many halos not enough heroes
Am
Coming up with the goods
Fmaj7 E7
So you thought you'd like to change the world
Am C
Decided to stage a jumble sale
Fmaj7 E7 Am
For the poor for the poor
Fmaj7 E7
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Am C
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
Fmaj7 E7 Am (let ring)
For the poor for the poor

Fmaj7 E7
Its a waste of time if you know what they mean
Am C
Try shaking your box in front of the Queen
Fmaj7 E7
'Cause her purse is full and bursting at the seams
Am
Its a waste of time if you know what they mean
Fmaj7 E7 Am Am
Fmaj7 E7 Am Am
Fmaj7 E7
Too many hands in too many pockets
Am C
Not enough hands on hearts
Fmaj7 E7
Too many ready to call it a day
Am
Before the day starts
Fmaj7 E7
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Am C
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
Fmaj7 E7 Am
For the poor for the poor

So you thought you'd like to change the world
