 I see  trees of green,  red roses too
I  see them bloom,  for me and  you,
 And I think  to myself,  What a wonderful world.
 I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
 The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
 And I think to myself, what a wonderful world (F / Bb / / / F /)
 The colors  of the rainbow, so pretty  in the sky
 Are also  on the faces of people  goin' by
 I see friends  shaking hands,  saying, "How  do you  do?"
They're  really saying, "I love you." I  hear
 (back to verse chords)
 Babies cry, I watch them grow
 They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
 And I think to myself what a wonderful world(F / Am7b5 / )
 Yes I think  to myself,  what a wonderful world.
 As always, corrections, improvements, suggestions, further questions,
 comments, compliments, condolences, greetings, wishes of luck for my
 upcoming Celtic History final, random thoughts, whatever--all welcome.
