Where Is The Love?

This is a great song by the Black Eyed Peas.
To Play along with the record you use the CAPO at 5.
But I find for female voices the song works better at CAPO 2.
But obviously you play it however you want to play it. Enjoy!


CAPO 5

[Verse]
   

 
What's wrong w

ith the world 

mama?
              
People livin' 

            
like they ain'

t got no mamas
              
I think the wh

      
ole world addi

cted to the dr

ama
              
Only attracted

       
 to things tha

t'll bring you

 trauma
              
Overseas, yeah

    
, we try to st

op terrorism
              
But we still g

      
ot terrorists 

here livin'
         
In the USA, th

e big CIA
              
The Bloods and

       
 The Crips and

 the KKK
 
But if you onl

y have love fo

r your own rac

e
              
Then you only 

        
leave space to

 discriminate
              
And to discrim

     
inate only gen

erates hate
              
And when you h

       
ate then you'r

e bound to get

 irate, yeah
 
Badness is wha

t you demonstr

ate
              
And that's exa

        
ctly how anger

 works and ope

rates
              
N' you gotta h

    
ave love just 

to set it stra

ight
              
Take control o

        
f your mind an

d meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all


[Chorus]
             
People killin'

      
, people dyin'
              
Children hurt 

              
and you hear t

     
hem cryin'
              
Can you practi

              
ce what you pr


each
              
And would you

 cheek
              
Father, Father

'Cause people

 questionin'
              
Where is the l

  [Verse 2]
              
It just ain't 

    
the same, alwa

ys unchanged
 
New days are s

trange, is the

 world insane
 
If love and pe

ace is so stro

ng
              
Why are there 

           
pieces of love

 that don't be

long?

Nations droppin' bombs
 
Chemical gasse

s fillin' lung

s of little on

es
 
With the ongoi

n' sufferin' a

s the youth di

e young
    
So ask yoursel

f is the lovin

' really gone
            
So I could ask

 myself really

 what is goin'

 wrong
          
In this world 

that we livin'

 in people kee

p on givin' in
 
Makin' wrong d

ecisions, only

 visions of th

em dividends
     
Not respectin'

 each other, d

eny thy brothe

r
   
A war is goin'

 on but the re

ason's underco

ver
      
The truth is k

ept secret, it

's swept under

 the rug
         
If you never k

now truth then

 you never kno

w love
             
Where's the lo


ve, y'all, com

e on (I don't 

know)
             
Where's the tr

uth, y'all, co

me on (I don't

 know)

Where's the love, y'all
