Chords for Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio (Lyrics) feat. L.V.

_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
[Ab] As I walk through the [Bb] valley of the shadow of death, [G] I take a look at my [Cm] life and realize there's [Ab] nothing left
Cause I've been [Bb] brassing and laughing so [G] long that even my mama [Eb] thinks that my mind is [Ab] gone
But I ain't never crossed a [F] man that didn't deserve [G] it
Me be treated like a [C] punk, you know that's [Ab] unheard of
You better watch [F] how you're talking and where you're [G] walking
Or you and your [C] homies might be lying in chalk
[Ab] I really hate to [F] trip, but I gotta loaf
[G] As they croak, I see [C] myself in the pistol smoke
[Ab] I'm the kind of [F] cheater little homies wanna [G] be like
On my knees in the [C] night, saying prayers in the [Ab] streetlight
I've been [Bb] standing most days, I [G] was living in the dead
[Eb] Scared of _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] something, I [G] was living in [Cm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] the dead
[Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
[Ab] Got the situation, [F] they got me facing
[G] I can't live a normal [C] life, I was raised by the sh-
[Ab] So I gotta be [F] there with the hood team
Too much television [Ab] watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated [F] fool with money on my mind
[G] Got my tin in my [C] hand and the gleam in my eye
[Ab] I'm a loafed out, [F] dead set, tripping, banging
[G] And my homies is down [C] so don't arouse my anger
[Ab] Fool, death ain't [F] nothing but a heartbeat away
[G] I'm living life to a [C] dial, what can I say?
[Ab] I'm 23 now, [F] but will I live to see [G] 24?
The way things are going, [C] I don't know
[Ab] Tell me why [F] you're [G] so blind [C] to see
Got [Ab] the _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [Ab] worst [Bb] kind of boys [G] living in the dead
[Eb] I _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] was living in _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
[Ab] the power and the money
[F] Money and the power, [G] minute after minute
[C] Hour after hour, [Ab] everybody's running
[F] But I'm a-lookin' what's [G] going on in the kitchen
[C] But I don't know what's shakin'
[Ab] They say I got to learn, [F] but nobody's here to teach me
[G] If they can't understand [C] it, how can they teach [Ab] me?
I guess they think, [F] I guess they won't
I [G] guess they front, that's why I [C] know
My life is out of luck, [Ab] fool
I've been spending [Bb] those ten dollars
[G] Living in the basement
[Eb] I _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] was [G] living in _ _ [Ab] the kitchen
To [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ see it, after
[Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] To see it, [Ab] after One
