What's Going On?   - Al Stewart


Here are the chords to "What's Going On?". Just having the chords certainly
leaves a lot lacking, because the song is so great rhythmically, but it is a
start.

Em            Am   D           Em       Am  D
First time I saw you, you were Mr. Natural
Em              Am  D         Em              Am        D
You seemed so diffident, you hardly spoke at all
Em              Am      D          Em                    Am    D
Now you come to me and you've got green streaks in your hair
      Em              Am  D         Em            Am  ...D
You walk like Greta Garbo but you talk like Yogi Bear  (so tell me now)
      Em             A   G              C
   CH:  What's going on?  What's going on?
            G              D                Am
        I really don't believe what's going on
                     Em   Am  D  Em  Am  D
        What's going on
Em              Am   D            Em            Am
Anyone in the farmhouse could've given you the news
Em                 Am    D              Em         Am     D
You think you're in control but you're only being used
     Em               Am     D              Em         Am    D
I know your head is in the sky and you're easy to deceive
Em           Am     D         Em            Am
But how you fell for this I really don't believe.     (CH)

Em                     Am      D        Em              Am
All those rock'n'roll star heroes you spend your time around
Em                    Am      D                 Em               Am    D
You may think you're one of them but you're  a hundred thousand down
Em                    Am          D       Em             Am    D
What're you going to do when the company calls its money in?
Em               Am    D          Em             Am
How'll you feel stuck out in the rain without a friend?     (CH)
