WHAT`S GOING ON- Marvin Gaye

E Cm
Mother, mother, there`s too many of you crying
E Cm
Brother, brother, brother, there`s far too many of you dying
A
You know we`ver got to find a way
B7
To bring some lovin` here today, hey

Father, father, we don`t need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we`ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin` here today

CHORUS 1:
A
Picket lines and picket signs

Don`t punish me with brutality

Talk to me, so you can see
E Cm
Oh what`s going on, what`s going on
E Cm
Yeah, what`s going on, ah, what`s going on
A B7
Ahhh....

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we`re wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply `cos our hair is long
Ah you know we`ver got to find a way
To brind some understanding here today

CHORUS 2:
Picket lines and picket signs
Don`t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What`s going on, yeah what`s going on
Tell me what`s going on, I`ll tell you what`s going on
