Amaj7 F#m7
Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Amaj7 F#m7
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
Bm7
You know we've got to find a way
E7
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:
Bm7 E7
Picket lines and picket signs
Bm7 E7
Don't punish me with brutality
Bm7 E7
Talk to me, so you can see
Amaj7 F#m7
What's going on, what's going on
Amaj7 F#m7
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
Dm7
Ahhh....(for about 2 bars)
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've got to find a way
To bring 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
