Workin’ on a World
Recorded by Iris Dement
Album: Workin’ on a World (2023)

(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) /
 
(Verse 1)
I got so down and (G)troubled, (C) I nearly lost my (G)head (C)
(G) I started (D)wakin’ every (G)morning (Em) filled with (Am)sadness, fear, and dread (D)
The world I took for (G)granted (C) was crashing to the (G)ground (C) (G)
(C)And I real-(G)ized I might not live long e-(D)nough to ever see it (G)turn around (C) (G)
 
(Verse 2)
But then I got to (G)thinkin’ (C) of the ones who came be-(G)fore (C)
(G) And all the sacri-(G)fices that they made (Em) to open up so many (Am)  doors (D)
Doors I got to (G)walk through (C) on streets paved for (G) me (C)
by people who were (G/D)workin’ on a (D)world they never got to (G)see (C) (G)
 
(Chorus)
Now, I’m workin’ on a (C)world I may never (G)see (D) (G)
I'm joinin’ forces with the (Em)warriors of love
(Am) who came before and will follow you and (D)me
I get up in the (G)mornin’ (C) knowing I’m privileged (G) just to be (C)
Workin’ on a world (D) I may never (G)see (C) (G)
 
(Solo)

|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |
|(Em) / / / |(Am) / / / |(Am) / / / |(D) / / / |
|(G) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(C) / / / |
|(G) / / / |(D) / / / |(G) / (C) / |(G)
 
(Verse 3)
I don’t have all the (G)answers (C) to the troubles of the (G)day (C)
(G) But neither did all our an-(G)cestors (Em) and they persevered (Am) anyway (D)
When I see a little (G)baby, (C) reaching out it’s arms to (G) me
(C) I remember why I’m (D)workin’ on a world I may never (G)see (C) (G)
 
(End-Chorus)
Now, I’m workin’ on a world (C) I may never see (G) (D) (G)
I'm joinin’ forces with the (Em)warriors (D)of love (C)
(Am) Who came before and will follow you and (D)me
I get up in the (G)mornin’ (C) knowing I’m privileged (G) just to be
(C) Workin’ on a world (D) I may never see (G)
(C) I'm workin’ on a world (G) (D) - - - I may never see (G) (C) (G) - - - - -
