(intro): |G+G   Fadd9Fadd9|  x8

G+G                Fadd9Fadd9	            G+G	           Fadd9Fadd9
Trouble with the world is we're too ...

Why must we hate one another ....

Peace coming is all I ....

There are two rhythm guitars here. A augmentedA clean electric (mixed left) strums
chords throughout the song. Note that Fadd9Fadd9 is played as 1x3213 (playing the
bass string with your thumb). An acoustic (mixed right) is played with a capo
on the fifth fret - to convert the chords:
 G+G becomes D, Fadd9Fadd9 => Cadd9Cadd9 (x32033), A minorAm => Em, C majorC => G, FF => C, D MajorD => A augmentedA

There are also two lead guitars in this song, which play the solo and the
links between the verses. They play power chords for the Am-C... things.
If you only have one lead guitarist in your band, you can loosely approximate
both guitar parts with a pitch shifter by playing the right channel guitar
(the one on top) with pitch shifter set to a perfect 4th (5 frets) above- use
your ears and change the bits which end up sounding particularly daft.
