What’s Up

Coversong originally made famous by 4 Non Blondes
Written by Linda Perry

G
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am
Trying to get up that great big hill
   C               G
Of hope for a destination
G
I realized quickly when I knew I should
         Am
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
   C                      G
Of man, for whatever that means

[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                           G
I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
[Interlude]
G     Am  C   G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
G     Am  C   G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
[Verse]
      G                   Am
And I try, oh my God do I try
              C                  G
I try all the time, in this institution
      G                    Am
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
                    C
I pray every single day
          G
For a revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                           G
I scream at the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey HeyeYEYEYE"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
[Interlude]
G     Am  C   G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
[Outro]
G
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am                                      C
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
           G
For a destination
