Verse 1
G 
While we're drinking our martinis,
C 
there's a little child that's
D 
starving in Biafra.
And the good life that I'm living
G 
makes me happy but not blind.
For I see my neighbors dying for the freedom
C 
that I always took for granted
D 
And the world is weighing
G 
heavy on my mind
As I hold and kiss my woman
C 
and caress our healthy children
D 
I feel sympathy
For all the lonely souls
G 
who search for love but never find
And I wish to God they had the love
C 
and happiness that I've got
D 
For their tears are weighing
G 
heavy on my mind
C 
God, I thank you for my blessings
and I'll try hard to deserve them
G 
And each day I hope I'm better
than the day I left behind
C 
But I see the poor and sad,
Lord, they're needin' you so bad,
Lord
G 
Won't you help them find
D 
the happiness and life you've given mine
G 
Now I'll give a word of comfort
C 
to a stranger who's down
D 
and needs a buddy
And I'll try to be the kind of friend
G 
we seek but seldom find
And I'll give a little more
C 
than I've received of human kindness
D 
G 
Lord, the world is way heavy on my mind
D 
G 
Lord, the world is way heavy on my mind
