Where Is The Love?
This is a great song by the Black Eyed Peas.
To Play along with the record you use the CAPO at 5.
But I find for female voices the song works better at CAPO 2.
But obviously you play it however you want to play it. Enjoy!
CAPO 5
[Verse]
What s wrong with the world mama?
People livin like they ain t got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that ll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you re bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that s exactly how anger works and operates
N you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y all, y all
[Chorus]
People killin , people dyin
Children hurt and you hear them cryin
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
Cause people got me, got me questionin
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
[Verse 2]
It just ain t the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don t belong?
Nations droppin bombs
Chemical gasses fillin lungs of little ones
With the ongoin sufferin as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin wrong
In this world that we livin in people keep on givin in
Makin wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin each other, deny thy brother
F (slowly strum a little faster until the next chorus)
A war is goin on but the reason s undercover
The truth is kept secret, it s swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where s the love, y all, come on (I don t know)
Where s the truth, y all, come on (I don t know)
Where s the love, y all
[Chorus]
People killin , people dyin
Children hurt and you hear them cryin
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
Cause people got me, got me questionin
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
[Instrumental]
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I m gettin older, y all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin in the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo , whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That s the reason why sometimes I m feelin under
That s the reason why sometimes I m feelin down
There s no wonder why sometimes I m feelin under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself...
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
(Where is the love?)
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
Cause people got me, got me questionin
Where is the love?
[Short Pause- about 3 seconds]
Now sing with me yall..
(One world, one world)
We only got..
(One world, one world)
That s all we got..
(One world, one world)
And something s wrong with it
(Yeah)
Something s wrong with it
(Yeah)
Something s wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah.
We only got..
(One world, one world)
That s all we got
(One world, one world)
