[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                                A         E
   Back in 1899, everybody sang Auld Lang Syne
  E
A hundred years would take a long, long time
                          B7
For every little boy and girl
            E
Now there's just one thing that I would like to know
              A         A7      E
Where did the twentieth century go?
                                            B7        E
I swear it was there just a minute ago, all over this world
 
 
[Chorus]
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world
                                          B7        E
The twentieth century is almost over, all over this world
 
 
[Verse 2]
     E
Does anybody recall the Great Depression?
                           A       E
I read all about it in the True Confession
E
Sorry I was late for the recording session
                        B7
But somebody put me on hold
    E
Did anybody see them linoleum floors
           A         A7        E
Petroleum jelly and two world wars?
                                         B7        E
They went around in revolving doors, all over this world
 
 
[Chorus]
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
B7           E
Almost over, almost over
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
    B7        E
All over this world
 
 
[Verse 3]
    E
Old father time is a-rumbling and a-rapping
                         A             E
Standing at the window thumping and a-tapping
E
Everybody's waiting for something to happen
                           B7
I hope it don't happen to you
             E
You know the judgement day is gettin' nearer
          A        A7        E
There it is in the rear-view mirror
                                                   B7        E
If you duck down I could see a little clearer, all over this world
 
 
[Chorus]
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
B7           E
Almost over, almost over
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
    B7        E
All over this world
 
 
[Outro Chorus]
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
B7           E
Almost over, almost over
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
    B7        E
All over this world
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
B7           E
Almost over, almost over
    E
The twentieth century is almost over
    B7        E
All over this world
    A         E          A         E
All over this world, all over this world...
