| If you | see your brother | standing by the | road |
| A | G | D |
| With a heavy | loa | d from the seeds he | sowed |
| D | G | D |
| And if you see your sister | falling by the | way |
| A | G | D |
| Just stop and | say | "you're going the wrong | way" |
| A7 | G | D |
| You've got to | try a little kindness, yes, | show a little | kindness |
| G | D | A | Asus |
| Just | shine your light for | everyone to | see | |
| G | D | Bm |
| And if you | try a little kindness then you'll | overlook the | blindness |
| G | A | G | A | D | D | CG | D | CG |
| Of the | narrow-minded | people on the | narrow | minded | streets | | | | |
| D | G | D |
| Don't walk a | round the down and | out |
| A | G | D |
| Lend a helping | han | d instead of | doubt |
| G | D |
| And the kindness that you | show every | day |
| A | G | D |
| Will help some | one | along their | way |
