Louis Armstrong And His Friends Tabs:
- What A Wonderful World »
What a wonderful world
this song is pretty nasty sounding if you can have a second guitar or Piano play the
chords while you rock out on the power chords at the bottom, works good in 4/4 with a
snare hit on every quarter or eight note, (pick your poison)enjoy!

| woa n3odi! someone got out of bed on the wrong side! now u sound like a very environmentaly green person....as am i....so why do u think ur trying to save the world? because it's corrupt? no duh cos it's beautiful! nothing is perfect, and however much u do to try and save people and stop starvation etc ur never going to do it on ur own and all at once, so whilst u r fighting poverty, think how in many places there ISN'T poverty and be grateful for that! Smile! :) ps: if any1 out there wants to make life better for sum1, go to www.plan-uk.org and help by doing anything from giving a family a goat to sponsoring a child. i sponsor a child and honestly it is 1 of the most rewarding things ever! go on...try it! xxx | |

| Beutiful Song, Louis shows his true love for the world and mother earth, i like this songs simplicity and truth, my favorite line is I hear babies crying I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know talking about leaving your place to the next generation, reminds me of a good pushkin poem. Its true this world needs some fixing up for our childeren but i would feel sorry for people who cant see past the bad things in this world and dont believe that some people, even knowing about all the bad, can still love this life and feel what is expresed in this beutiful song | |

| I ageee with you completely n3odi!!! Everytime i haer this song i instantly see starving children, corrupt authourity figures, and environmental demise. I also think about the billions of lonely. isolated individuals in the world - something far more chilling than any statistic. It still is a beautiful, hope inspiring song, however - maybe it is just trying to show that there are still beautiful things in the world, aside from the devastation, and all you have to do is live day by day and search for the little things that make you happy. I'm starting to sound cheesier than the song! | |

| What a bundle of joy n3odi is. You are so wrapped up in your nonbeautiful world that you cannot see the beauty that is out there in the midst of nonbeautiful things. Not only can you not see the forest for the trees, your forest is burnt down, full of dying children, radiation, and corruption. Get off the edge man. | |

| This song has been in a lot of movies about the Vietnam war. Seems like this song for whatever reason has become a signiture song for showing troops fighting in vietnam. Good morning Vietnam and forest gump are two I can think of off top of my head. I know there are many more. | |

| This song is amazing and Louis Armstrong is amazing because this song was written at the time where racism towards "colored" was all around. However, he was able to look past all that and appreciate all the simple goodness in the world. | |
