Whats Up chords by 4 Non Blondes

Guitar chords with lyrics


Chord progression goes like this throughout the entire song
A Bmin D A
              v v v v v v v ^ v v v v ^
The rhythm goes like this: 4 8 8 4 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 8  This is a little crude
but listen to the song to get the exact rhythm. There's a little more
swing to it than how I wrote it. The apostrophe represents a dotted note
(in this case, a dotted quarter note).

The first A is like this: 5--  the second A is: o--
             5--          3--
             -6-          3--
             --7          3--
             x           x
             x           x
The Bmin is: 2--        the D is: 2--
       -3-             -3-
       --4             2--
       --4             --4
       x              x
       x              x

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
The progression is easy to play if you treat them all as bar chords.
Just leave your forefinger on the second fret over strings 1,2,3,and 4
except for the second A where you have to slightly raise your finger so that
the E string is open. Slide down from the first A to the Bmin.

[Verse 1]
[A]   25 years...
[Bmin] Tryin' ...
[D]   Hope...destination.    [A]
[A]   I realized...
[Bmin] That the...
[D]   Man...means.  [A]
{Rest of the song's chord progression is the same thing}

[Chorus]


[Verse 2]
[A]   And I...
[Bmin] I...the [D] time...institution. [A]
[A]   And I pray...
[Bmin] I pray... single [D] day....revolution. [A]

[Chorus and last four lines of the chorus are repeated 2x more]

[Verse 3]
