By: Buffalo Springfield
[intro:] |E |A |E |A |

E A
There's something happening here
E A
What it is ain't exactly clear
E A
There's a man with a gun over there
E A
A telling me I've got to beware
[chorus:]
|E
(stop)
I think it's time we stop
D |
(what's that sound)
Children, what's that sound
|A C |
(Everybody look what's going down)
Everybody look what's going down
[:] |E |A |E |A |
[verse: 2]
E A
There's battle lines being drawn
E A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
E A
Young people speaking their minds
E A
A getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop

E A G
ummmm ummm
What a field day for the heat
E A G
ummmm ummm
A thousand people in the street
E A G
ummmm ummm
Singing songs and a carrying signs
E A G
ummmm ummm
Mostly saying hooray for our side

Paranoia strikes deep
E A
Into your life it will creep
E A
It starts when you're always afraid
E A
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
