[Verse 1]
G                  C
 The world is mine but for a time
       G
Please hear the love I bring
           C
for you to follow
G                   C
 Come with me, with diamonds
 in the sea
    G
And stare the hearts of men
               C
whose fight in sorrow
     D
It's foolish to suppose
            G       D/F#
you know me well, I know
D
Everything that I touch won't
        G    D/F#  G
turn to gold
D
Money's not my way although
     G        D/F#
your own lost soul's
D
Waiting for the day to break
     G    D/F#  G
that hole

[Verse 2]
G                    C
 Whisper please some scandal
 to the trees
    G
I'm sure they would enjoy

themselves enormously
G               C
 Will you and I sit up in the sky
    G
And chase our minds through
                 C
space and time relentlessly?
D                          G
Circumstances indicate for you

and I
       D
If the time is right,

we bid a fond farewell

Some friends of mine,
                       G     D/F#
the world they take on for a while
     D
Then seldom find the time
             G    D/F#  G
they know so well

How to play The World Is Yours: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for The World Is Yours by Caravan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

The World Is Yours by Caravan keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 7 chords: Em, D, Bm, Am7, G, C and D/F#.

The backbone of the song is G – Bm – Em – D (I – iii – vi – V in G major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
