I am a huge fan of Cat Stevens (who is now named Yusuf Islam after a religious conversion). I think he's one of the all time greatest singer songwriters.  I recorded and played this kind of out-of-nowhere...I just felt like paying tribute I guess!

The chords are simple the changes are kind of funky but here's the basic

Intro verse and outro
Am D7 G C F Dm E
Chorus chords are 
C G F then G F C

I didn't tab so no tabs for it I played along with it.  I'm tuned down so it might sound weird you could play along with the Wild World - Cat Stevens official music video or the Wild World - Cat Stevens Live performance that is really well known.  That would be how it sounds standard.

Here are the lyrics 

Wild World
By Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving 
Baby I'm grieving 
But if you wanna leave 
Take good care
Hope you've got a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Ooo baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooo baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know 
I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want roses you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
If you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember theres a lot of bad and beware

Ooh baby baby it's a wild world 
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh baby baby it's a wild world

Baby I love you

Ooo baby baby it's a wild world
Baby it's a wild world
