Weve Got To Do Something

  B              A                       E
Lately mother earth has been feeling unsatisfied,
 B                           A                       E
I'd say it's plain from the rain the sweet lady's started to cry,
 B                  A                        E
Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart,
              A
and I don't think it's smart to,
 B                    A                      E
Lay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms.

[Chorus]
         E
We gotta do something,
          B
We gotta do something,
   A
Before mother earth gets anymore hurt,
    E
We gotta do something!

[Verse]
B                               A                      E
From what I've read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today,
B                             A                               E
It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play,
    B                      A                  B
So, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President you better see that it's
     A            B                    A
not only me, no, our mob is rising in size,
                            E
and they've been dying to scream out to you!

[Chorus]
          E
You gotta do something,
          B
We gotta do something,
     A
Sometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do,
           E
but we've gotta do something!

             E
It's time to do something,
               B
Someone should do something,
     A
We gotta do something,
                       E
and that someone is you, and you and you and you!


[Bridge]
C#m           B                  E
  I pray it ain't all lost and gone,
C#m            B                       E
  I pray we might learn right from wrong,
C#m                   B             E   B        A
  and I pray this broken day, will not last too long,
                            E                 C#m
I pray that you believe my song ... Darlin'!

[Bridge 2]
E
You know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take,

But a lot of it just needs saying,
C#m
and I don't see anyone else out there,
       B
giving out this message,
                            E
and if I don't do this, Who's gonna do it?
                             B
And maybe, if someone hears these words,
                             A
maybe the whole world gets round and listens,
                              E
to what I'm sayin', and maybe we have a chance.

Because I don't wanna see another child crying,
                           B
I don't wanna see another dog dying in the streets,
         A                                                  E
I can't see another homeless man, because it doesn't seem right to me,

He's got a home, and he's not got a home,

What's the point in that?
                  B
Why can't we all just get together, in one big home,
A
and if I was in Government,
                      E
Then I'd Government things much more differentlier,

because it ain't the best way to government things,
                     B
So there's poor people everywhere,

You know I would just be sittin' alone,
A
Thinkin' "How can I do something?",
        E
'Cos I ain't gonna be in chains no-more,

You lot might have been conned, but I ain't been conned,
            B                                        A
'Cos I'm a free man, I'm free, and I'm gonna let my soul soar,
                                      E
and the way I do that is through my music,
