[Intro]
C         Bb         Am         G   F
C         Bb         Am         G   F
[Verse]
             C
You know it doesn't make much sense
               Bb
There ought to be a law against
   Am
Anyone who takes offense
   G         F
At a day in your celebration
         C
Cause we all know in our minds
           Bb
That there ought to be a time
     Am
That we can set aside
     G            F
To show just how much we love you
         F
And I'm sure you would agree
             G
It couldn't fit more perfectly
         F                         G
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
[Chorus]

[Verse]
        C
I just never understood
       Bb
How a man who died for good
           Am
Could not have a day that would
    G                 F
Be set aside for his recognition
        C
Because it should never be
        Bb
Just because some cannot see
      Am
The dream as clear as he
       G                    F
that they should make it become an illusion
       F
And we all know everything
          G
That he stood for time will bring
        F
For in peace our hearts will sing
           G
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Dm                          Am
Why has there never been a holiday
Dm
Where peace is celebrated
G#         Bb       C
all throughout the world
[Verse]
     C
The time is overdue
        Bb
For people like me and you
      Am
Who know the way to truth
    G                F
Is love and unity to all God's children
          C
It should be a great event
          Bb
And the whole day should be spent
    Am
In full remembrance
     G                              F
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
    F
So let us all begin
     G
We know that love can win
       F
Let it out don't hold it in
         G           G#
Sing it loud as you can
