Verse:
       F        C     Dm        Am
I see trees of green, red roses too
Gm         F       A7         Dm     
I see them bloom, for me and you,
      Bb                C                F
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

Verse:
      F        C        Dm        Am
I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
Gm                 F        A7           Dm
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
      Bb                C                F
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Verse:
    C                          F
The colours of a rainbow are so pretty in the sky
C                       F
Are also on the faces of people going by
        Dm             Am          Dm         Am
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
Dm             Am     F      C
They’re really saying I love you.

Verse:
       F      C     Dm           Am
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
Gm                 F     A7             Dm
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
      Bb                C               F
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

      Bb                C                F
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I like playing this on 7+ and mashing it up with Twenty One Pilots Can’t Help Falling in Love! View Renee Dominque’s video to see what I’m talking about

actually Elvis Presley didn’t write the song, someone else did and Elvis really liked it, so he asked the guy if he could sing the song to make it popular and famous!

I think the F on ‘I love you’ should be Gm? I can’t make the vocals fit elsewise

You’re right – it’s F on I, Gm on love, and C on you. :))

Very puzzling. I’m “good enough” to gig on upright bass in four jazz groups and a couple of big bands, and have played guitar for 40 years, but I prefer playing uke to guitar.
