Verse 1
(D major) Dear Mrs. Roosevelt,
don't hang your head in pride.
(G major) His mortal flesh is laid away,
but his good work fills the sky.
(D major) This (F sharp minor) world was lucky (A major) to see him walkin' (D major)
Now he went up to the grade school
And he wrote back to his folks
He (G major) drew such funny pictures
And was always pulling jokes (D major)
This (F sharp minor) world was luck (A major) y
To see him walk (D major)
He went up to Harvard
To read his books of law
He (G major) loved his trees and horses,
he loved everything he saw (D major)
This world (F sharp minor) was lucky (A major) to see him (G major) born (D major)
He got struck down by the fever
And he settled in his land
He loved (G major) the folks that wished him well
And everybody did (D major)
This world (F sharp minor) was lucky (A major)
To see (G major) him (A major) one (D major)
He took office on a crippled leg
And he said to one and all
You money (G major) -changin' racket boys
Sure enough got too far (D major)
And the world (F sharp minor) was lucky (A major) to see him born (D major)
I'd (E flat major) voted for him lots of times
And I'd vote for him again
He tried (A flat major) to find an honest job
For every idle man (E flat major)
This world (G minor) was lucky (B flat major)
To (B flatsus4) see him (B flat major) walk (E flat major)
He helped (E major) me to build my union
And he learned me how to talk
I could see (A major) he was a cripple,
but he loved my soul to tore. (E major)
And the (A flat minor) world was luck
(B major) y to see him (A major) more. (E major)
I (C major) was a (F major) G .I. in the Army
the day he passed away
And (B flat major) over my shoulder
I could hear some soldier say (F major)
This world (A minor) was lucky (C major) to see him (B flat major)
(C major) walk
