Verse 1:

       A              D5   C A
Do you ever get that feeling
         Gm              D5   Dsus D5
when the guilt begins to hurt?
A           D5   C A
Seeing all the children
Gm         D5   Dsus D5
wallowing in dirt
A           D5   C A
Crying out with hunger
Gm         D5   Dsus D5
crying out in pain
A                 D5    C A
At least the dirt will wash off
Gm           D5   Dsus D5
when it starts to rain

Do you ever get the feeling
      Gm          D5   Dsus D5
that something isn't right?
 A      D5         C  A
Seeing your brother's fists
      Gm              D5   Dsus D5
clenched ready for the fight
        A              D5   C A
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
      Gm              D5   Dsus D5
and the weapons turn to wounds
A              D5     C A
So the doctors stitch and stitch and stitch
      Gm                D5     Dsus D5
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

A            D5   C A
It all seems so stupid
      Gm              D5  Dsus D5
It makes me want to give up
    A              D5   C A
But why should I give up
      Gm             D5   Dsus D5
When it all seems so stupid?

A              D5   C A
Do you ever get the feeling
      Gm           D5   Dsus D5
that something can be done
    A              D5   C A
To eradicate these problems
      Gm              D5   Dsus D5
and make the people one?
A               D5     C A
Do you ever get that feeling
 Gm       D5        Dsus  D5
something like a nagging itch?
     A                  D5     C A
And all the while the doctors stitch
     Gm         D5        Dsus  D5
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

A              D5   C A
But why should I give up
    Gm            D5   Dsus D5
When it all seems so stupid?
