[verse: 1]
Emaj7                               C#m7
Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Emaj7                                             C#m7
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
                F#m7
You know we'ver got to find a way

To bring some loving here today, oh

Emaj7                             C#m7
Mother, mother, we don't need to escalate
Emaj7                                     C#m7
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
               F#m7
You know we've got to find a way
               B7sus4      B7
To bring some loving here today,  oh


[chorus:]
F#m7               B7
Picket lines, and picket signs
       F#m7             B7
Don't punish me, with brutality
F#m7                B7         
Talk to me, so you can see
           Emaj7            C#m
Oh what's going on, what's going on
           Emaj7             C#m
Uh, what's going on, what's going on

[verse: 3]
Emaj7                             C#m7
Father, father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
   Emaj7                                  C#m7
Ah who are they to judge us, just because our hair is long
               F#m7
You know we've got to find a way
              B7sus4           B7
Bring some understanding here today, oh


[chorus:]
F#m7                      B7

Don't punish me, with brutality
F#m7                B7         
Talk to me, so you can see
           Emaj7           C#m7
Oh what's going on, what's going
             Emaj7                C#m7
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
