G C G
Back in 1899, when everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne",
D
A hundred years would take a long, long time for every little boy and girl.
G
Now there's just one thing I would like to know,
C G
Where did the 20th century go?
G
I'd swear it was there just a minute ago.
D G
All over this world.
[Chorus]
G C
All over this world, all over this world.
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
G C G
Does anybody recall the Great Depression?
D
I read all about it in True Confessions,
G
Sorry I was late for the recording sessions,
C G
Somebody put me on hold.
Did anybody see them linoleum floors, petroleum jelly and two world wars.
G D G
The went ?round in revolving doors, All over this world.
[Chorus]
G C
All over this world, all over this world.
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, almost over almost over
D G
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
G C
Old Father Time is a rumbling and a rappin',
G
Standin' at the window thumpin? and a tappin',
Everybody's waitin? for something to happen,
D
I hope it don?t happen to you,
G
You know the Judgment Day is getting nearer,
C G
There it is in the rear view mirror.
D G
If you duck down, I could see a little clearer, All over this world.
[Chorus]
G C
All over this world, all over this world.
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, almost over almost over
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
[Chorus]
G C
All over this world, all over this world.
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, almost over almost over
G D G
The 20th century is almost over, all over this world.
