What For

Gm  Gm

[Verse 1]
     Gm               Adim
I’ve asked my angels, why?
D              Gm
But they don’t know.
                    Cm
What for do mothers cry
F7         Bb
And rivers flow?
                     Dm  G  
Why are the skies so blue and 
            Cm
mountains high?
Cm/Bb       Adim7            D  
What for is your love always 
     Gm
passing by?

     Gm             Adim
I’ve asked my uncle Joe,
D7           Gm
But he can’t speak.
                        Cm
Why does the wind still blow
F7              Bb
And blood still leaks?
                  Ddim7 G7       Cm
So many questions now with no reply,
Cm/Bb       Adim7         D7     
What for do people live until 
  Gm
they die?

[Chorus 1]
Gm          D7
   What for are we living?
Gm          Cm
   What for are we crying?

Adim7    D7        Eb
Only Mr. God knows why
                D             Gm
But his phone today is out of range.

[Verse 2]
Gm                Adim7
The sun in colour black
D7        Gm
Is rising high,
                    Cm
The time is turning back,
F7       Bb
I wonder why.
