Tabbed by: staccato27
Tuning: Standard, E,A,D,G,B,E
Awesome song to play, its basically a I V vi IV (1,5,6,4) progression in the key of F.
So if you want to take it down a little to fit your voice, it can be C,G,Am,F.
Or up a bit it can be B,F#,G#m,E.
Or you can use a capo.
But to be in key with the song its like this:
[Intro]
F, C, Dm, Bb x2
[Verse]
F
What's wrong with the world, mama
C
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
Dm
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Bb
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
F
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
C
But we still got terrorists here livin'
Dm
In the USA, the big CIA
Bb
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
F
But if you only have love for your own race
C
Then you only leave space to discriminate
Dm
And to discriminate only generates hate
Bb
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
F
Madness is what you demonstrate
C
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Dm
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Bb
Take control of your mind and meditate
F
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
[Chorus]
FC
People killin', people dyin'
CDm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
DmBb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
FC
Father, Father, Father help us
CDm
Send us some guidance from above
DmBb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
[Verse]
F
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
C
New days are strange, is the world insane
Dm
If love and peace is so strong
Bb
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Bb
Nations droppin' bombs
F
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
C
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
Dm
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
Bb
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
F
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
C
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Dm
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
Bb
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
F
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
C
If you never know truth then you never know love
Dm
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Bb
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
F
Where's the love, y'all
[Chorus]
FC
People killin', people dyin'
CDm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
DmBb
Can you practice what you preach
BbF
And would you turn the other cheek
FC
Father, Father, Father help us
CDm
Send us some guidance from above
DmBb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
[Verse]
F
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
C
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Dm
Most of us only care about money makin'
Bb
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
F
Wrong information always shown by the media
C
Negative images is the main criteria
Dm
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Bb
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
F
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
C
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Dm
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Bb
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
F
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
C
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
Dm
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
BbF
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
F
And ask yourself
[Bridge]
C
Where is the love
Dm
Where is the love
Bb
Where is the love
F
Where is the love
FC
Father, Father, Father help us
CDm
Send us some guidance from above
DmBb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love
