We've got to save the world

how we've abused it
G7
We've got to save the world
Interlude
[C Co Fm7(b5)]
C G
The Russians have the biggest share
C G
With their long fingers everywhere
F A7
And now they've bombs in outer space
F Fm C |Co Fm7(b5)| (fast passage)
With laser beams and atomic waste
C G
Rain forest chopped for paper towels
C G
One acre gone in every hour*
F A7
Our birds and wildlife all destroyed
F Fm [C Co F/C G]
To keep some millionaires employed (different interlude)
G7 C Cmaj7
We've got to save the whale
Bb D F#m7(b5) G
Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it

We've got to save the world
[C Co F/C]
C G
The armament consortium
C G
They're selling us plutonium
F A7
Now you can make your own H-bomb
F Fm C |Co Fm7(b5)| (fast passage)
Right in the kitchen with your mom
C G
The nuclear power that costs you more
C G
Than anything you've known before

The half-wit's answer to a need

For cancer, death, destruction, greed

With evil hearts determined to
F A7
Reduce this planet into hell
F Fm C |Co Fm7(b5)| (fast passage)
Then find a buyer and make quick sale

Is very simple knowing that
F Fm C Co F
God in your heart lives
G G7 C Cmaj7
We've got to save the world
Bb D F#m7(b5) G
Someone else may want to use it
Bb A7
It's time you knew
Dm
How close we've come
G#7 G G7
We're gonna lose it - We gotta save, we gotta save
C Co Fm7(b5) C
We gotta save the world.
Comments:
1) The slide guitar interludes vary. I've transcripted one from the
introduction (there are two, making a dobro) just in case of identifying
the main melody.
2) I really dislike this song. It has a quite bizarre chords sequency that
doesn't make a beautiful result. And the lyrics are very poor, not to
mention the "Russians" part, that reveals a very shallow knowledge about the facts
or, at least, a kind of ingenuity from my (our) favorite songwriter/musician.
I'm the biggest George Harrison fan in the world, for sure... but this song, along
with only 2 or 3 other songs from his entire career, is unpassable.
3) Why had I spent my time transcripting it? Well, "a friend came to me, and told
me that he wanted help"... so it was worthwile.
