🎶 Tell Me Why

[Ab] In my dream, [D] children sing
A [Cb] song of love for every boy and [C#7] girl
The [Ab] sky is blue and [D] fields are green
And [Cb] laughter is the language of the [C#7] world
Then I [Cb] wake and all I [C] see
Is a [A#m] world full of people in [C#7] need.

Chorus: Tell me [Ab] why(why) does it [D] have to be like this
Tell me [Cb] why (why) is there something i have [C#7] missed
Tell me [Ab] why (why) ‘cos I don't [D] understand
When so [Cb] many need somebody
We don't give a helping [C#7] hand Tell me [Ab] why?

2. [Ab] Everyday I [D] ask myself
What [Cb] will I have to do to be a [C#7] man
[Ab] Do I have to [D] stand and fight
To [Cb] prove to everybody who I [C#7] am
Is that [Cb] what my life is [C] for
To [A#m] waste in a world full of [C#7] war?

Chorus: Tell me [Ab] why(why) does it [D] have to be like this
Tell me [Cb] why (why) is there something I have [C#7] missed
Tell me [Ab] why (why) ‘cos I don't [D] understand
When so [Cb] many need somebody
We don't give a helping [C#7] hand

Bridge:Tell me [A#m] why? tell me [C] why
Tell me [Cb] why? (tell me why)
Just tell me [C#7] why, why, why?

Chorus: Tell me [B] why(why) does it [F] have to be like this
Tell me [D] why (why) is there something I have [Eb7] missed
Tell me [B] why (why) ‘cos I don't [F] understand
When so [D] many need somebody
We don't give a helping [Eb7] hand

Tell me [B] why (why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me [F] why(why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me [D] why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the [Eb7] forest burn?

([B] why,why do we say we care)
Tell me [F] why(why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me [D] why(why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the [Eb7] ocean die?

([B] why,why if we're all the same)
Tell me [F] why(why,why do we pass the blame)
