Music and Words by Jerry

Capo: 3rd Fret

Intro:
Oo-oo (C)oooo (Dm)ooo
It will (G)be a better World (Dm)for a (G)little (C)girl

[Girl:]
(C)Mommy, I'm scared by all that I see,
(F)When we go out or watch the TV.
(C)Peo-ple are mean, they fight and they lie - tell me (G)why!

(C)When I grow up and you are gone and (F)I must go out all on my own,
(Am)What will I do, 'cause (D)I am not strong at (G)all!

[Chorus, sung by girl:]
Oh Mommy, (C)it's so bad out there,
I think that (Dm)I'll be really scared,
Can't you (G)stay with me always
And keep the (C)bad people away?
(G)Can't the (C)good men win instead
(Cmaj7)Like in the (Dm)stories that we've read,
(Dm7)Can't it (G)be a better World (Dm)for a (G)little (C)girl?

(C)Our city has so much dirt and noise,
(F)Why do the wars kill all the boys?
When (C)Bobby grows up will he have to go and (G)die?
(C)Mary's Dad left her and her Mom,
(F)Who will take care of them from now on?
Will (Am)our Daddy stay? Are you (D)also afraid at (G)night?

[Chorus, sung by Mother:]
Oh darling, (C)yes it's bad out there,
And sometimes (Dm)even I am scared,
But Jesus (G)has a special plan,
He holds the (C)World within His hands.
Though (G)it's now (C)run by evil men,
(Cmaj7)Very (Dm)soon His Love will win,
(Dm7)And it will (G)be a better World (Dm)for a (G)little (C)girl.

(A)Oh darling, (D)yes it's bad out (Dmaj7)there,
And sometimes (Em)even I am scared(Em7).

[Girl:]
But Jesus (A)has a special plan,
He holds the (D)World within His hands.
Though (A)it's now (D)run by evil men(Dmaj7),
Very (Em)soon His Love will win(Em7),
And it will (A)be a better World (Em)for a (A)little (D)girl.
[Mother:] (A)For a little (D)girl,
[Both:] (A)For a little (D)girl.
