WHAT'S GOING ON- Marvin Gaye

E C#m
Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
E C#m
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 C#m
Oh what's going on, what's going on
E C#m
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
