[Verse]
E A E
If you see your brother standing by the road
B A E
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
E A E
And if you see your sister falling by the way
B A E
Just stop and say "you're going the wrong way"
[Chorus]
E E E B A E
You've got to try a little kindness, yes, show a little kindness
A E B
Just shine your light for everyone to see
E E E A E Cm#
And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness
A B A B (riff) (begin in E)
Of the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
[Verse]
E A E B A E
Don't walk around the down and out, lend a helping hand instead of doubt
A E B A E
And the kindness that you show everyday will help someone along their way
[Chorus]
E E E B A E
You've got to try a little kindness, yes, show a little kindness
A E B
Just shine your light for everyone to see
E E E A E Cm#
And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness
A B A B (Riff) (begin in E)
Of the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets.
[Chorus]
E E E B A E
You've got to try a little kindness, yes, show a little kindness
A E B
Just shine your light for everyone to see
E E E A E Cm#
And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness
A B A B (Riff) (begin in E)
Of the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets.
