C           
There comes a time
         F      G      C
When we head a certain call
          F          G                C 
When the world must come together as one 
           Am
There are people dying
          Em                     F
And it's time to lend a hand to life 
      F               G
The greatest gift of all 

C
We can't go on 
   F        G      C
Pretending day by day 
         F      G                          C
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
       Am
We are all a part of 
       Em
God's great big family 
         F                              G
And the truth, you know love is all we need 

/Chorus:/
             F    G
We are the world 
             C
We are the children
            F                        G
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
                 C
So let's start giving 
            Am
There's a choice we're making
        Em
We're saving our own lives 
      F                        G
It's true we'll make a better day 
             C
Just you and me 

C
Send them your heart
         F         G       C
So they know that someone cares 
           F         G                C
And their lives will be stronger and free 
   Am
As God has shown us
     Em
by turning stone to bread 
       F                       G
So we all must lend a helping hand 

/Chorus:/
             F    G
We are the world 
             C
We are the children
            F                        G
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
                 C
So let's start giving 
            Am
There's a choice we're making
        Em
We're saving our own lives 
      F                        G
It's true we'll make a better day 
             C
Just you and me 

             A
When you're down and out
 B                      C
There seems no hope at all 
            A
But if you just believe 
          B            C
There's no way we can fall 
                                Am
Well, well, well, well, let us realize 
        Em
That a change will only come 
     F                     G
When we stand together as one 

/Chorus:/
             F    G
We are the world 
             C
We are the children
            F                        G
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
                 C
So let's start giving 
            Am
There's a choice we're making
        Em
We're saving our own lives 
      F                        G
It's true we'll make a better day 
             C
Just you and me
