G
[Verse 1]
Am
Where there is hatred, they sow love
C
Where there is injury, they sow pardon
G
Where there is friction, they sow union
G
And error; truth,
Am
And doubt; faith
C G
Where there's despair, they sow hope
G
Where there is darkness; light
G N.C.
And where there is sadness; joy
[Chorus]
C
What's a matter you people?
G
What's a matter you say?
C
What's a matter you people?
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
[Pre-Verse]
Am G
Where there is love, there's also pain
[Verse 2]
Am
I do not seek to be consoled
C
As much as to console
G
Or to be understood as to understand
G
Or to be loved as to love
Am
For it is in giving, that they receive
C G
And in pardoning that they are pardoned
N.C.
And in dying they are born to eternal life
[Chorus]
C
What's a matter you people?
G
What's a matter you say?
C
What's a matter you people?
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
[Bridge]
C G
To save one's soul, save one's life
C G
Save one's soul, save one's life
Am C G
Save one's soul, save one's life
N.C.
(These are the instruments of peace)
[Chorus]
C
What's a matter you people?
G
What's a matter you say?
C
What's a matter you people?
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
Am C
What's a matter you people?
G
What's a matter you say?
Am C
What's a matter you people?
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
[Outro]
Am C
What's a matter you people? (Pilgrim walking)
G
What's a matter you say? (Pilgrim talking)
Am C
What's a matter you people? (Pilgrim walking)
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
Am C
What's a matter you people? (Pilgrim walking)
G
What's a matter you say? (It's a pilgrim, pilgrim talking)
Am C
What's a matter you people? (Pilgrim walking)
G
It's gonna be a bright, sunshiny day
