{t:(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?}
{st:Nick Lowe}
{c:Intro}
{c:G c (4x)}
As I walk thr[G+G]ough [C majorC] this wicked [G+G]world [C majorC]
Searchin' for [E minorEm] light in the [A augmentedA]darkness of insani[D MajorD]ty [C majorC]
I asked my[G+G]self [C majorC] as all looked [G+G]lost [C majorC]
Is there only [E minorEm]pain and [A augmentedA]hatred and mise[D MajorD]ry? [C majorC]
And each [G+G]time I feel like [D MajorD]this inside
There's [G+G]one thing I want to [C majorC]know:
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [A augmentedA]Oh, oh
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [D MajorD]
{c:G c (4x)}
And as I walk [G+G]on [C majorC] through troubled t[G+G]imes [C majorC]
My spirit gets [E minorEm]so down[A augmentedA]hearted some[D MajorD]times [C majorC]
So where are the [G+G]strong [C majorC] and who are the [G+G]trusted [C majorC]
And where is the [E minorEm] ha[A augmentedA]rmo[D MajorD]ny - sweet harmo[C majorC]ny?
'Cuz each [G+G]time I feel it [D MajorD]slipping away
[G+G]Just makes me want to [C majorC]cry
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [A augmentedA]Oh, oh
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [D MajorD]
{c:G c (6x)}
[E minorEm] [A augmentedA] [D MajorD]So....[c]....
Where are the [G+G]strong [C majorC] and who are the [G+G]trusted [C majorC]
And where is the [E minorEm] ha[A augmentedA]rmo[D MajorD]ny - sweet harmo[C majorC]ny?
'Cuz each [G+G]time I feel it [D MajorD]slipping away
[G+G]Just makes me want to [C majorC]cry
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [A augmentedA]Oh, oh
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing? [A augmentedA]Oh, oh
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace, love and under[E minorEm]standing?

I don't think that's quite right. This is how I play it:
{t:What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding?}
{st:Nick Lowe}
{define: G7/F 1 1 0 0 0 2 1}
[G+G] [D MajorD] [c] (repeat 4x)
As I walk [G+G]through [D MajorD] [C majorC] this wicked [G+G]world [D MajorD] [C majorC]
Searchin' for [E minorEm]light in the [A augmentedA]darkness of [D MajorD]insanity [C majorC]
I ask my[G+G]self [D MajorD] [C majorC] is all hope l[G+G]ost? [D MajorD] [C majorC]
Is there only [E minorEm]pain and [A augmentedA]hatred, and [D MajorD]misery?
'Cause each [G+G]time I feel like [D MajorD]this inside, [G7/F]one thing I wanna [C majorC]know:
{soc}
[G+G]What's so funny 'bout [D MajorD]peace love & underst[E minorEm]anding? [A augmentedA]Ohhhh

[G+G] [D MajorD] [c] (repeat 4x)

My spirit gets [E minorEm]so downhea[A augmentedA]rted some[D MajorD]times. [C majorC]
{c:%}
So where are the s[G+G]trong ones? [D MajorD] [C majorC] And who are the tr[G+G]usted? [D MajorD] [C majorC]
And where is the [E minorEm]har- -[A augmentedA] -mon[D MajorD]y? Sweet harmon[C majorC]y.
'Cause each [G+G]time I feel it sl[D MajorD]ippin' away, [G7/F]just makes me wanna [C majorC]cry.
