MICHAEL McDONALD--" WHATS GONING ON ".wmv chords
Start Jamming...
We love to play this song and we've played this song for many years actually.
The reason we love this song so much is we love the words to this song.
And as with so many great songs, [E] the words to this song seem more timely even today than they were back in the 60s when they were written.
And hopefully this song will never die for that reason.
It'll never go out of style because [C#] the words [B] mean too much to us at times like this.

Mama, Papa
[C#m] Best [G#m] fortune in the world
[C#]
[E] Brother, brother, brother
[C#m] This fortune many a year down
You know [F#m] we got to have it all
[A] To break through a lot [G#m] here today
[E] Papa, Papa
[C#m] We don't need to escalate
[E]
War is not the answer
[C#m] Soon as the world can conquer it
[F#m] You know who we got to find
To [B] break some of this state [G#] here [F#m] today
If you think you're smart
[E] You can lie
[F#m] Don't punish me [B] With brutality
[F#m] Come on, talk to me
[A] But you will [E] see

[E] Who are they to judge
[G#] Some [C#m] they cause a rattle
[F#m] You know we got to find a way
[A] To break some of this state [B] here
[F#m] today
If you think you're smart
