What's Up by Four Non Blonds
The band named this song "What's Up" instead of "What's Going On" so it wouldn't be confused with the more famous Marvin Gaye song. Check out my band doing a cover of this version.

Song: What's Up
By:   Four Non Blonds

[intro:] {acoustic guitar only} A Bm D A 
         {whole band comes in}  A Bm D A 
A
25 years and my life is still
Bm                                        D
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
                A
For a destination
A 
I realized quickly when I knew I should
Bm                                                     D
That the whole world's MADE UP OF this brotherhood of man
                    A
FOR whatever that means
A
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Bm
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
D                                 A
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
A
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
Bm
And I take A deep breath and I get real high
D
And I scream from the top of my lungs,
A
What's goin' on
           A       Bm
And I say hey.... hey....
        D                 A
I said hey, what's goin' on
           A       Bm
And I say hey.... hey....
        D                 A
I said hey, what's goin' on

(just repeat the chord pattern until the last part of this song)

Ooh, Ooh, Oooohh, Oooohh, what's up...
Ooh, Ooh, Oooohh, Oooohh, what's up...

And I try, oh my God, do I try
I try all the time in this institution
And I pray, oh my God, do I pray
I pray every single day FOR A REVOLUTION!

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs,
WHAT'S GOIN' ON!!

And I say hey.... hey....
I said hey, what's goin' on
And I say hey.... hey....
I said hey, what's goin' on
And I say hey.... hey....
I said hey, what's goin' on
And I say hey.... hey....
I said hey, what's goin' on

{repeat intro guitar riff}
Ooh, Ooh, Oooohh, Oooohh, what's up...

A Bm D A {acoustic guitar only}
25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
