Intro: G  GDC  C x4

                         G       D       C     C

As I walk through

                         G       D      C       C

This wicked world

                            Em                A                           D          C

Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself

Is all hope lost?

Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

                   G                           D

And each time I feel like this inside,

                G7                                 C

There's one thing I wanna know:

G                                          D                                      Em              A

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh

G                                          D                                      Em                D

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

G D C C  x4

And as I walked on

Through troubled times

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes

So where are the strong

And who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony.

Chorus,  then Solo: G D C C x6 then:  Em A D C

So where are the strong?

And who are the trusted?

And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony.

Chorus + What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

G D C C x4-8
