Subject: Queen: The world we created
"Is this the world we created?"
from the album "The Works" by Queen
A really good song with great lyrics. I find it very hard to believe that
neither this song nor "Love of my life" are not to be found on any of the
greatest hits albums since I for one, consider them to be among the finest
from the Queen repertoire.
This song took me some time to transcribe. This is the 3rd atempt, but I
think I got it right. I've seen a few other transcriptions, but I don't
think they are accurate enough.
The lyrics follow after the transcription.
BTW Brian May tunes down half a step to bE for this song.
Good luck
Lee Francis

Comment: I basically only transcribed the first verse and chorus. I then
assume the that the second verse and chorus are identical. BTW
they're not (but there's not much difference).
Lyrics:
Is This the World We Created? (Mercury/May)
Verse 1 Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need
Chorus Is this the world we created
What did we do it for
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today
The world that we created
Verse 2 You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Chorus Is this the world we created
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devasted
Right to the bone
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that he created

So many lonely faces Scattered all around
F#min G D/F# Emin
Searching for what they need
Chorus:
D A/D
Is this the world we created
Amin/D G/D
We made it on our own
Bmin
Is this the world we invaded
F#min Emin
Its all alone
(then same as Intro part II)
So it seems, In the end, Is this what, Were living for, Today,
In this world that we created.
Verse II:
You know that everyday a helpless child id born
Who needs love and care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Chorus II:
Is this the world that we created
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone
If theres a god, up in the sky, looking down, what must he think of what
we've done
To the world that he created.
