For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield
Intro: | E | A7 | E | A7 |
Verse 1:
E A7
There's something happening here
E A7
But what it is ain't exactly clear
E A7
There's a man with a gun over there
E A7
Telling me I got to be-ware
Chorus 1:
E
(I think it's time we) stop,
D
Children, what's that sound?
A G
Everybody look - what's going down?
Verse 2:
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
Chorus 2:
(It's time we) stop,
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Verse 3:
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, "hooray for our side"
[Repeat Chorus 2]
Verse 4:
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
Chorus 3:
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
[Repeat Chorus 3 three more times]
