  * What's Up? * 4 Non Blondes *

  ******************************

  Chord progression goes like this throughout the entire song

  A Bmin D A

                              v v v v v v v ^ v v v v ^

  The rhythm goes like this:  4 8 8 4 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 8   This is a little crude

  but listen to the song to get the exact rhythm.  There's a little more

  swing to it than how I wrote it.  The apostrophe represents a dotted note

  (in this case, a dotted quarter note).  

  

  The first A is like this: 5--   the second A is: o--

                            5--                    3--

                            -6-                    3--

                            --7                    3--

                            x                      x

                            x                      x

  The Bmin is: 2--                the D is: 2--  

               -3-                          -3-

               --4                          2--

               --4                          --4

               x                            x

               x                            x

  

  The progression is easy to play if you treat them all as bar chords.  

  Just leave your forefinger on the second fret over strings 1,2,3,and 4 

  except for the second A where you have to slightly raise your finger so that

  the E string is open.  Slide down from the first A to the Bmin.

                                                             

  [Verse 1]

  [A]     25 years of my life and still

  [Bmin]  Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of 

  [D]     Hope, for a destination.        [A]

  [A]     I realized quickly when I knew I should 

  [Bmin]  That the world was made up of this brotherhood of 

  [D]     Man, for whatever that means.   [A]

  {Rest of the song's chord progression is the same thing}

  

  [Chorus]

  And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

  just to get all out, what's in my head, then 

  I, I am feeling, a little peculiar.

  And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside 

  And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and 

  I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" 

  And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."  

  I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

  And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

  I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

  

  [Verse 2]

  [A]     And I try, oh my god, do I try 

  [Bmin]  I try all the [D] time, in this institution. [A]

  [A]     And I pray, oh my god, do I pray

  [Bmin]  I pray every single [D] day, for a revolution. [A]

  

  [Chorus and last four lines of the chorus are repeated 2x more]

  

  [Verse 3]

  25 years of my life and still

  Tryin' to get up that great big hill of 

  Hope, for a destination
