F              Bb              C                F
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
F         Bb                 C
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
F          Bb                 C            Dm
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
       Gm             C                     F
So get out today, you spread a little love around


[Chorus 1]
          Bb                    F
Talk to a neighbor, volunteer a favor
     Gm             C                    F
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
                 Bb                            F    C   Dm
Give your wife a kissin', when your kids talk, listen
   Am      Gm            C                     F
It makes a lovely sound, spread a little love around

[Verse 2]
F           Bb                 C               F
You know it don't take much to make somebody's day
F              Bb                C
A kind word of tender touch goes a long way
F                 Bb                C                Dm
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
       Gm             C                     F
So get out today, you spread a little love around


[Chorus 2]
                  Bb                      F
Tell your mom you love her, bear hug your brother
           Gm          C                F
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
                   Bb                    F      C    Dm
Throw the ball for rover, wrestle in the clover
      Am       Gm              C                     F
Put a smile on that old hound, spread a little love around


[Chorus 3]
                       Bb                   F
Slap your sweetheart's fanny, tickle on old granny
      Gm                C               F
Dance with the kids and act just like a clown
              Bb                           F          C      Dm
A little tiny kiss and hug, well everybody needs that stuff
     Am      Gm           C                     F      C     Dm
Turn a frown upside down, spread a little love around
     Am         Gm             C                     F     C    Dm   Am
When this world gets you down, spread a little love around
