[G]rollin' through the fi[C]ghting
[G]rollin' through the religious w[C]ars
[G]rollin' down the temple [C]walls
and the church's exposed [G]sores

said that young girl of edith and earl's

[C]he was lost in some distant th[G]ought
then he turned and said
to that young gi[D]rl[C] [Csus2] [C]
[G]"a little love and aff[C]ection
[G]in everything you [C]do
[G]will make the world a better p[C]lace
with or without y[G]ou"

with or without you
[C]a better place

with or without you
[C]with or without you
D* C
[G]hear that rooster crowin'
[C]down on the double e
it's a new morning
D C*
dawning on the green
[G]bouncing off the towers
[C]and the sun's heading down for the streets
the business meeting
D C*
window shades are drawn
[G]another morning ed[C]ition
[G]headed for the po[C]rch
[G]because grandma puts down the p[C]aper
before grandpa raises his f[G]ork
D*
a little love and affection
[C]in everything you do
D* C
A Better Place
D*
hear the rooster crowing
[C]down on the double e
