Brian May used twelve string and tuned it down by half step.
I denoted with * next to the tabbed note where only the higher
of the double strings is picked resulting in an octave higher
note.

D A/D D7 G/D Bb Gm6 D/F# Dsus9


Bm F#m7 Em7
Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Bm F#m7 Em7
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
Dsus4/A D/A Esus4 Em
So many lonely faces scattered all around
F# G/D Em7
Searching for what they need


D A/D
Is this the world we created?
D A/D G/D
What did we do it for?
Bm
Is this the world we invaded
F#m A
Against the law?
D A/D
So it seems in the end
D7 G/D Bb
Is this what we're all living for today?
Gm6 D/F# Dsus9
The world that we created


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


Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
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?
