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

Guest

Julie

I fully agree that is a smart move

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

I played this with the chords c g f a7, then f c g Am, and then f g c and it worked better. The next chords are g f Am then a7 c a7 c and then a7 c g am g. Try it and it might work out better for your voice :)

That’s not how music works

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.

I play both guitar and ukulele. Some songs I sing for my church group sound better on a uke, some sound better on a guitar. My dad plays the guitar so when I play with him it’s usually on the uke for a sound contrast. Although I respect the guitar I respect the ukulele too.

Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 - July 6, 1971) nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an inventive trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly-recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser
