Beautiful World Chords

(ver. 1)
Colin Hay
Verse:
G     D        G               G/B Cadd9
My my my its a beautiful world
       D               G   G/B Cadd9
I like swimming in the sea
             D              Em7            Em9 Em7 Cadd9
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
        D                Em7                            Cadd9
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
       D               G    G7M G
I like swimming in the sea

Verse (ver II):
      D                  G     G/B Cadd9
My my my its a beautiful world
       D              G   G/B Cadd9
I like drinking Irish tea
       D                    Em7      Em9 Em7 Cadd9      
With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang
       D             G     G7M G
I like making my own tea

Verse: 
      D                  G     G/B Cadd9
My my my its a beautiful world
       D             G   G/B Cadd9
I like driving in my car
               D             Em7                 Em9 Em7 Cadd9
I roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
             D     Em7                    Cadd9
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
       D             G    G/F# Em7
I like driving in my car

Chorus:
              Cadd9  G/B D           G     G/F# Em7
All around is anger,       automatic guns
               Cadd9                  D                   G    G/F# Em7
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
                 Cadd9  G/B D                       G    G/F# Em7
Tried talking to Jesus        but he just put me on hold
                                     Cadd9
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week 
         G/B   G/A   G             Dsus4  D
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

Verse (ver III):
G          D         G        G/B Cadd9
Still this emptiness persists
                D             G   G/B Cadd9
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
                         D               Em7              Em9 Em7 Cadd9
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
                    D        Em7                   Em9 Em7 Cadd9
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
Cadd9                 D          Em7                  Em9 Em7 Cadd9
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
             D             G    G7M G
Yeah this is as good as it gets

Verse:
      D                  G     G/B Cadd9
My my my its a beautiful world
       D               G   G/B Cadd9
I like swimming in the sea
                 D          Em7             Em9 Em7 Cadd9
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
        D                Em7                            Cadd9
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
       D               G   
I like swimming in the sea

End:
G       G9 A9 B9 C9 D9 D
Yeah
G      G/B  Cadd9  G/B D/F#   G/F# G    G/B Cadd9    G/B D
  Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah      yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Em7  Em9 Em7 Cadd9     G/B D/F#  G   G7M G    G7M G    G7M G
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah    yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
