Anyone remember Live Aid? I don't really, 'cause I was about 5 at
the time but I kinda remember this song. I heard it recently and
thought it would be fun to tab it. Just basic chords and easy to
play! There were a lot of famous singers who did this song, I don't
know exactly who though, I heard Bob Dylan in there, and I kinda
recognized some of the voices but I'm not sure who they were.
Anyway, I'm sure they all meant well but OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS
THE CHEESIEST, CORNIEST, MOST EMBARASSING SONG EVER!!!! And that's
why it's such fun! :)


INTRO:
------
E     A  B


VERSE 1:
--------
E                          A      B       E
There comes a time when we need a certain call
         A          B                E
When the world must come together as one
          C#m
There are people dying
             G#m                    A
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
                     B
The greatest gift of all


VERSE 2:
--------
E                 A       B      E
We can't go on pretending day by day
         A        B                      E
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
      C#m           G#m
We're all a part of God's great big family
        A                               B
And the truth - you know love is all we need


CHORUS:
-------
           A      B            E
We are the world,   we are the children
           A                        B
We are the ones who make a brighter day
               E
so let's start giving
          C#m
There's a choice we're making
      G#m
We're saving our own lives
     A                        B
It's true we'll make a better day
             E     A B A E   A B A
Just you and me


VERSE 3:
--------
      E
Well, send'em you your heart
        A         B       E
So they know that someone cares
          A          B               E
And their lives will be stronger and free
   C#m
As God has shown us
   G#m
By turning stone to bread
          A                       B
And so we all must lend a helping hand


CHORUS:
-------
           A      B            E
We are the world,   we are the children
           A                        B
We are the ones who make a brighter day
               E
so let's start giving
          C#m
There's a choice we're making
      G#m
We're saving our own lives
     A                        B
It's true we'll make a better day
             E
Just you and me


BRIDGE:
-------
            C
When you're down and out
      D                 E
There seems no hope at all
           C
But if you just believe
        D             E
There's no way we can fall
                        C#m
Well, well, well, let's realize
         G#m
That one change can only come
     A                    B
When we stand together as one


CHORUS: [play twice, same chords as first CHORUS]
-------
We are the world,   we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


[...and the chorus just keeps going but now
 here's the terrible key change...]

CHORUS:
-------
           Bb     C            F
We are the world,   we are the children
           Bb                       C
We are the ones who make a brighter day
               F
so let's start giving
          Dm
There's a choice we're making
      Am
We're saving our own lives
     Bb                       C
It's true we'll make a better day
             F
Just you and me


[Just repeat the last CHORUS about a million times and fade out...]
