Intro: B  G#m

B         G#m         E         F#
Don't know much about history, Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book, Don't know much about the French I took.

B                   E 
But I do know that I love you,
B                   E
And I know that if you love me too;
F#                         B
What a wonderful world this would be.

Don't know much about geography, Don't know much trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra, Don't know what a slide rule is for.

But I do know one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you;
What a wonderful world this would be.

F#                B
Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student, But I'm tryin' to be.
C#7                          B
For maybe by being an 'A' student, baby,
C#7                G#7
I could win your love for me.

Don't know much about history, Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book, Don't know much about the French I took.

But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me too;
What a wonderful world this would be.

B              G#m        E                 F#
La ta, ta ta ta ta… (history). Mmm… (biology)
B                                    G#m
Woah, la ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta… (science book)
E       F#
Mmm… (French I took)

But I do know that I love you, And I know that if you love me too;
What a wonderful world this would be.
