We Are The World Chords

[Verse 1]
C                  
There comes a time 
          F        G     C
when we heed a certain call
           F          G                C
When the world must come together as one
             Am
There are people dying
             Em                     Dm
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
    F                  G
The greatest gift of all
 
[Verse 2]
C               F         G     C
We can't go on pretending day by day
 F            
That someone, 
 G                          C
somewhere will soon make a change
Am                 Em
We're all a part of God's great big family
   Dm
And the truth
F         G
You know love is all we need
 
[Chorus]
            F   G                   C
We are the world, we are the children
            F       
We are the ones who 
             G                  C
make a brighter day so let's start giving
          Am                  
There's a choice we're making 
     Em
we're saving our own lives
     Dm                       G   
It's true we'll make a better day 
             C
just you and me
 
[Verse 3]
C                          
Well, 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
Dm                                 G
And so we all must lend a helping hand
 
[Chorus]
            F   G                   C
We are the world, 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
     Dm                       G   
It's true we'll make a better day 
             C
just you and me
 
[Bridge]
            Ab                 
When you're down and out there 
Bb                 C
seems no hope at all
           Ab           
But if you just believe 
        Bb              C
there's no way we can fall
                        Am      
Well, well, well, let's realize 
       Em
that a change can only come
     F
When we
                  G
stand together as one
 
[Chorus] (x2)
            F   G             C
We are the world, we are the children
            F                      G    
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
              C
so let's start giving
          Am                       Em
There's a choice we're making we're saving 

our own lives
     Dm                       G                C
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me
 
[Chorus Coda] (a half step higher)
            Gb   Ab             Db
We are the world, we are the children
            Gb                      Ab  
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
                Db
so let's start giving
          Bbm                       Fm
There's a choice we're making we're saving 

our own lives
     Ebm                      Ab  
It's true we'll make a better day 
             Db
just you and me (ad lib)
