Where Is The Love - The Black Eyed Peas
Capo: Fret 5
Tuning: F, E A D G B E
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
turn the other
cheek
Father, Father
, Father help
us
Send us some g
uidance from a
bove
'Cause people
got me, got me
questionin'
Where is the l
ove (Love)
Where is the l
ove (The love)
Where is the l
ove (The love)
Where is the l
ove
The love, the
love
[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
[Chorus]
People killin'
, people dyin'
Children hurt
and you hear t
hem cryin'
Can you practi
ce what you pr
each
And would you
turn the other
cheek
Father, Father
, Father help
us
Send us some g
uidance from a
bove
'Cause people
got me, got me
questionin'
Where is the l
ove (Love)
Where is the l
ove (The love)
Where is the l
ove (The love)
Where is the l
ove
The love, the
love
[Instrumental]
I feel the wei
ght of the wor
ld on my shoul
der
As I'm gettin'
older, y'all,
people gets c
older
Most of us onl
y care about m
oney makin'
Selfishness go
t us followin'
in the wrong
direction
Wrong informat
ion always sho
wn by the medi
a
Negative image
s is the main
criteria
Infecting the
young minds fa
ster than bact
eria
Kids wanna act
like what the
y see in the c
inema
Yo', whatever
happened to th
e values of hu
manity
Whatever happe
ned to the fai
rness in equal
ity
Instead in spr
eading love we
spreading ani
mosity
Lack of unders
tanding, leadi
ng lives away
from unity
That's the rea
son why someti
mes I'm feelin
' under
That's the rea
son why someti
mes I'm feelin
' down
There's no won
der why someti
mes I'm feelin
' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself...
(Where is the
love?)
(Where is the
love?)
(Where is the
love?)
(Where is the
love?)
Father, Father
, Father help

Send us some g

'Cause people

questionin'
Where is the l
