about

Any musician can tell you there are 4 chords that comprise the majority of all popular music. Through the ages these harmonies and progressions have moved us.

lyrics

These are the best 4 chords in the world
they are the best four chords in the world
they inspire change time to rearrange
the way we’ve been living.

Mix the minor with the major
It's life’s scale it’s an art
follow the sound of who you are. these are
the best four chords in the world
I’VE BEEN WONDERING why.
Up one half and down a whole
the arrangement of partnerships
Is the key role

You plus me equals we
and us together becoming one
with the mission we’ve been set on.
We don’t have a choice
we can’t let us lose our voice.
singing loudly, and make it about peace;
I still stand here, WE will be here for all eternity.

TheY are best 4 chords in the world
They are best 4 chords in the world
they remind me why I’m in this place
to find a pace and BRING LIFE together
seeking something I know but can’t remember.
Here for a reason to this place love again

to Love again
remind me to Love again
To Love again

INSTRUMENTAL

These chords are the fuel
that life and love thrive on best
We have the right to choose
Which side of the ground we live on.
which side of the choice we will loose
which will we lose

my love he said babe
I’ve been feeling down and I don’t care
about any of that news that we heard of yesterday
It all comes down to the same problems
we’ve been living in our trash and
swimming with dreams inside our bodies.
We’ve got to change
we’ve got to change
we’ve got to change
we’ve got to change, let’s move away

Let the spirit in you move
Hear it in your voice growing louder
feel it in your stomach
now let your mind grow higher.
Lift your soul Higher

First our spirits moved
We were living in the pipes
of our reality.
We yelled so our voice was heard
And then we got the fear to make it
more than make believe
When we arrived at this place of mine
we could realize and live life inspired
by these four chords

they are the best four chords.
they are the best 4 chords in the world
they are the best 4 chords in the world.

when that elephant put their ring around the moon.
so many stopped to listen we were all so moved.
and when I start to live life in tune.
there’s nothing that can stop me
from singing and playing this song.

Begin a life with less suffering.
so many paths to lose to many roads to walk on.
With the best 4 chords in the world
gets in my DNA and
now I’m changed.

one thing remains the same
We hear the bells again
it’s the same song we’ve been playing.
I feel it in my chest again.
the drive to keep on standing
where I belong
this world that I live on
sound and the light
that’s really what we’re made of
I can feel it in my heart I can feel it in my blood
let us live in the music
You Lead the way and bring us back home
Bring us back Home
Lead the way Home
Bring us back home.

we’ll be playing these best four chords in the world
till we’re old and gray and there's nobody left to care for us.
Singing these same old songs, making up rhythms and
telling about the one that brought us closer.
A life lived even longer
our love even stronger for these
4 chords.

play a song for me.
