Whats Up - Dolly Parton
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Attempt to capture chords and lyric changes for Dolly's new version of this song featuring Linda Perry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruw0_o-tWzk
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
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...
[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?"
[Verse]
After all thes
e years, my li
fe is still
Tryin' to get
up that great
big hill of ho
pe
For a destinat
ion.
