D-G7-C-G-D 



I don't know what the world mayneed,  

but I'm sure as hell that is starts with me.   

And that's a wisdom, 

I've laughed at.  



I don't know what the world may want,  

but a good stiff drink it surely don't.  

So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one. 



Cause, what the world needs now  

is a new kind of tension.  

Cause the old one just bores me to death.  

Cause, what the world needs now  

is another folk singer  

like I need a hole in my head. 



I don't know what the world may need,  

but a V8 engine is a good start for me.  

Think I'll drive to find a place,  

to be surly.  

I don't know what the world may want,  

but some words of wisdom could comfort us.  

Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.  



Cause, what the world needs now  

are some true words of wisdom   

like La La La La La  

Cause, what the world needs now  

is another folk singer  

like I need a hole in my head.  



I don't know what the world may need,  

and I never grasped your complexities.   

I'd be happy just to get your attention.  

And, I don't know what the world may want,  

but your long, sweet body lying next  

to mine could certainly raise my spirits. 



Cause what the world needs now  

is a new Frank Sinatra   

so I can get you in bed.  

Cause what the world needs now  

is another folk singer   

like I need a hole in my head.
