4 Non Blondes-What's Up
[Intro]
[E] [F#m] [A] [E]
first note of melody is G# of the E chord (first fret on G string)
[Verse 1]
[E] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[F#m] Trying to get up that great big hill
Of [A] hope for a desti [E] nation
I [E] realized quickly when I knew I should
That the [F#m] world was made up of this brotherhood
Of [A] man, for whatever that [E] means
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
[Interlude]
[E] Ooh, O [F#m] oh O [A] oh [E]
[E] Ooh, O [F#m] oh O [A] oh [E]
[Verse 2]
And I [E] try, oh my God, do I [F#m] try
I try all the [A] time, in this insti [E] tution
And I [E] pray, oh my God, do I [F#m] pray
I pray every single [A] day
For a revo [E] lution
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I [E] cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to [F#m] get it all out, what's in my head
and I [A] - I am feeling a little pe [E] culiar
And so I [E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I [F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I [A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going [E] on?"
[Chorus]
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] Heyeyey"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
And I said " [E] Heyeyeyeyey [F#m] HeyeYEYEYE"
I said " [A] Hey, what's going [E] on?"
[Interlude]
[E] Ooh, O [F#m] oh O [A] oh . [E] ....
[Outro]
[E] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[F#m] Trying to get up that great big hill of [A] hope
For a destin [E] ation

You try to [F#m] put on those airs, and [Esus4] act real cool,
But you [D] got to real - [E] ise that you're

A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

She's [E] walking over [A] to me.

My [E] lip starts to [A] shake.
But [C#m] How does she know [A] who I am [B]
And [C#m] How does she give [A] a damn [B] about me.
[Chorus 3] (same chords but softer than previous choruses,
