intro/instrum break: C - Gm7 - / Dm - Fm7 - :// C - Dm7 G

Good morn or evening friends, here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to everybody what I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster could change your joy & laughter
To tears & pain

C - Gdim - Dm7 - G - / Fmaj7 - Em7 - Dm - Dm7 G ://

(It's that) Love's in need of love today
Don't delay send yours in right away
Hate's goin' round breaking many hearts
Stop it please before it's gone too far

C - Am - Em7 - - - / Dm - Dm7 - Am - Dm7 G ://

The force of evil plans to make you its possession
And it will if we let it destroy everybody
We all must take precautionary measures
If love & peace you treasure then you'll hear me when I say oh that
