Intro 1
(E minor) (B minor) (G major)
Mother's (E minor)
Verse 1
crying in the street
Children dying at their feet
Tell (B minor) me why, oh tell (G major) me why (E minor)
People starving everywhere
There's too much food
but there's none to spare
Tell (B minor) me why, oh tell (G major) me why
Can (B minor) you see (D major) that shaft (G major) of sunlight?
Can (B minor) you see (D major) it in (G major) my eyes?
(D major) I can feel the fire (G major) that's burning
I'm (D major) going to hold so deep,
(E minor) so deep (D major) with (E minor) in my heart
But before (D major) my eyes
Or for some (G major) it's too late
Cause (A major) it seems there's
no one listening
People (E minor) sleeping in the streets,
no roof above, no food to eat
Tell (B minor) me why, oh tell (G major) me why
I see (E minor) the questions in their eyes,
listen to their children's cries
Tell (B minor) me why, please tell (G major) me why
If (B minor) there's a God, (D major) is (G major) he watching?
(B minor) Can he give (D major) a ray (G major) of hope?
(D major) So much pain, so much sor (E minor) row
Tell (D major) me what does he see (G major)
When (D major) he look (E minor) s at you
When he looks (D major) at me, what (G major) would he say?
It (A major) seems there's no
one listening (D major) (G major) (D major)
Oh, (G major) (D major) we think it still could (G major) happen
(D major) Even in this time and place
Politi (E minor) (D major) cians, they (C major) may save themselves (G major)
But they (B minor) won't save (C major) their face
So hold (A minor) against hope,
it's not (D major) too (E minor) late (B minor) (G major)
You (E minor) said there's nothing you can do
So one rule for them and one for you
Tell (B minor) me why
Just tell (G major) me why
Listen
(A major) Can (B minor) you see (D major) that shad
(G major) owed sunlight?
(B minor) Can you see (D major) it in (G major) my eyes?
(D major) I can feel that fire that's burn (E minor) ing
An (D major) ger and hope so (A major) deep (G major) ,
so deep (A major) with (E minor) in my heart
But before (D major) my eyes,
for some (G major) it's too late
An (A major) d it seems there's no one listening
Hurry (E minor) for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Day (B minor) and night, day (G major) and night
Hurry (E minor) for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Day (B minor) and night, day (G major) and night
(E minor) Hurry for me, hurry for me
They cry, (B minor) they cry (G major)
Just (E minor) hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
