Linda seems to use Asus2 (x02200) as a transition before moving from A to Bm and Cadd9 (x3x030) or
Dsus2 (xx0230) as a transition when moving from D back to A. It also seems like she sometimes plays the
Bm leaving the high E string open (x24430).

[Intro]
         
           
  Mmmm....

        


[Verse]

 All of these 

years and my l

ife is still
            
Just tryin' to

              
 get up that g

              
reat big hill 

       
of hope
           
for a destinat


ion.
  
I realized qui

ckly when I kn

ew I should
            
That the world

              
 was made up o

              
f this brother

           
hood of man,
              
For whatever t

    
hat means.


[Pre-Chorus]
         
And so I cry s

ometimes, when

 I'm lying in 

bed
            
Just to get it

              
 all out, what

              
's in my head,

       
 and I,
              
I'm feeling, a

           
 little peculi


ar.
         
And so I wake 

up in the morn

ing, and I ste

p outside
      
And I take a d

eep breath, an

d wonder why,
         
And I  scream 

              
at the top of 

              
my lungs, "Wha

          
t's going on?"


[Chorus]
              
And then I say

             
, "Hey yeah ye

        
ah hey, hey ye

ah yeah."
           
I say, "Hey,  

           
 what's going 


on?"
             
Then I say, "H

              
ey yeah yeah h

    
ey, hey yeah y

eah."
           
I say, "Hey,  

           
 what's going 


on?"


[Interlude]
         
  Mmmm....


[Verse]
             
And I try, oh 

             
my god, do I t


ry
              
I try all the 

             
time, in this 

     
institution.
             
And I pray, oh

              
 my god, do I 


pray
              
I pray every s

             
ingle day, for

       
 a resolution.


[Pre-Chorus]
         
And so I cry s

ometimes, when

 I'm lying in 

bed
            
Just to get it

              
 all out, what

              
's in my head,

     
 and I,
              
I am feeling, 

           
a little pecul

iar.
         
And so I wake 

up in the morn

ing, and I ste

And I take a d

eep breath, an
