Gm                     F
All around the world, we could make time
Gm                                Cm     A#
Rompin' and a-stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime
Gm                      F
Born in the North and sworn to entertain ya
Gm                       Cm      A#
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
Gm                  F
I try not to whine, but I must warn ya
Gm                       Cm             A#
'Bout the motherfuckin' girls from California
Gm                  F
Alabama baby said "Hallelujah"
Gm              A#        Dm
Good God, girl, I wish I knew ya

Chorus:
G#         Gm
I know, I know for sure
Fm                       Cm
That life is beautiful around the world
G#         Gm
I know, I know it's you
Fm                         Cm
You say "Hello" and then I say "I do"

Come back, baby, 'cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world, back from Bombay
Fox hole love, pie in your face
Living in and out of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride, step aside, Mike Johnson
Yes, I could, in the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake, it's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when they do in Sicily

Chorus

Where you want to go, who you want to be
What you want to do, just come with me
I saw God and I saw the fountains
You and me, girl, sittin' in the Swiss mountains
Me Oh My O, me and Guy O
Freer than a bird 'cause we're rocking Ohio
Around the world, I feel dutiful
Take a wife 'cause life is beautiful

Chorus:
G#         Gm
I know, I know for sure
Fm
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng,
             Cm
deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
G#         Gm
I know, I know it's you
Fm
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng,
             Cm
deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
G#
Mother Russia, do not suffer,
Gm
I know you're bold enough
Fm
I've been around the world and
        Cm
I have seen your love
G#         Gm
I know, I know it's you
Fm                          D#
You say "Hello" and then I say "I do"
