       C           F
Let me be a little kinder,

       C           G
Let me be a little blinder,

       F
To the faults of those around me,

       F               G
Let me praise a little more.

[Chorus 1]

       C             F
Let me be, when I am weary,

       C               G
Just a little bit more cheery,

        F
Think a little more of others,

      G              C
And a little less of me.

[Verse 2]

       C           F
Let me be a little braver,

         C              G
When temptation bids me waver,

       F
Let me strive a little harder,

      F                 G  G7
To be all that I should be.

[Chorus 2]

       C           F
Let me be a little meeker,

       C               G7
With a brother that is weaker,

       F
Let me think more of my neighbours,

      G7             C
And a little less of me.

Just a little bit more cheery,

       G
Let me serve a little better,

                         A
Those that I am striving for.

[Chorus 2]

       D           G
Let me be a little meeker,

With a brother who is weaker,

Think a little more of others,

And a little less of me.
