[Intro]
| Cmaj7 | Dm9 | % | % |
| Cmaj7 | Dm9 | % | % |
 
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                Dm9
Hang out the flags a new world order's on the way
Cmaj7                Dm9
 Start singing now a song to greet the joyful day
 
[Bridge]
G/A  Fmaj7
       Just when we thought the time was right for celebrating
Dm9
  With music of the spheres
Fmaj7
  What's this - another boat of fleeing refugees on
Dm9
  A sea of children's tears
 
[Chorus]
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7              Dm9
We're only men and women doing what we can
Cmaj7                   Dm9
 Sometimes I think that God is working to a plan
 
[Bridge]
G/A  Fmaj7
       Then other times I swear that he is improvising
Dm9
  Discordant and remote
Fmaj7
  Another orphan baby in failed uprising
Dm9
  Another real bum note
 
[Chorus]
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
 
[Chorus]
G               Am                     Dm7
  Once more the sound of crying
                        (Once more the sound of crying, sound of crying)
G               Am                     Dm7
  Once more the sound of crying
                        (Once more the sound of crying)
 
[Middle 8]
Cmaj7           Dm7
  And if you're listening up there
Cmaj7/G        Dm7/G
  You could consider this a prayer
 
[Bridge]
G/A  Fmaj7
       Well, who am I to tell you how to run your business
Dm9
  Man, you could strike me blind
Fmaj7
  What kind of noise we gotta make down here before we
                               2/4
Dm9                     | Dm9 | % |
  Destroy your peace of mind
 
[Chorus]
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
G               Am
  Once more the sound of crying
Dm7
  Is number one across the earth
 
[Chorus]
G               Am                     Dm7
  Once more the sound of crying
                        (Once more the sound of crying, sound of crying)
G               Am                     Dm7
  Once more the sound of crying
 
[Middle 8]
Cmaj7           Dm7
  And if you're listening up there, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh, aha-ah-aaaah
