He's Got the Whole World

In this song, each line of chords corresponds to one line of the song. However, this one doesn’t start counting until the word “whole.” “He’s got the” are called pickup notes.

Start counting on the first “whole,” then change chords on the next three “whole”s and again on the final “hands.”

I / / / | V / / / | I / / / | V / I / |

ch: He's got the whole world in his hands.
    He's got the whole wide world in his hands.
    He's got the whole world in his hands.
    He's got the whole world in his hands.

1. He's got the little bitty baby in his hands,
    He's got the little bitty baby in his hands,
    He's got the little bitty baby in his hands,
    He's got the whole world in his hands.

2. He's got you and me brother in his hands,
    He's got you and me brother in his hands,
    He's got you and me brother in his hands,
    He's got the whole world in his hands.

3. He's got you and me sister in his hands, (3x)
    He's got the whole world in his hands.

4. He's got the moon and the stars in his hands...

5. He's got the wind and the rain in his hands ...

6. He's got everybody in his hands...

Here it is with the strums where I usually put them:

                   I    /    /       /
ch: He's got the whole world in his hands,

               V          /    /      /
He's got the whole wide world in his hands,

               I    /     /       /
He's got the whole world in his hands,

              V          /       I   /
He's got the whole world in his hands.
