Chords for Michael McDonald ft. Billy Preston | What's Going On

This next song Billy and I are going to do for you is a song that was originally done by the great Marvin Gaye.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ And the reason we love this song so much is we love the words to this song.
Yes.
_ It's a wonderful song to play, it's a lot of fun to play, but as with [E] many great songs,
the words to this song are probably more timely today than back when they were written in the 60s,
if it's at all possible for that to be.
We look around the world at us, the world in front of us now,
and we realize that these words are every bit as timely, if not more so.
It's kind of a prayer for peace, this song.
So enjoy, let's go. _

Oh, man, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m]
there's far too many of you crying.
_ _ _ [E]
Brother, brother, brother, _ _ there's _ [C#m] _
far too many of you dying.
You know [F#m] we got to find a way _ to [E] break [A] some love _ _ [B] _ _ in.
[E] _
Far, far, _ we don't [C#m] need to _ escalate, though.
_ _ [C#] You see, [E] war is not the answer, _ but only [C#m] love can conquer pain.
Isn't that right?
_ We _ [F#]
got to find a way to [G#m] break some.
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Because I, brother, [A] think it a lot, brother, [E] don't wanna [F#m] leave.
_ _ [B] Brutality, brother, come [F#m] on, talk to me, brother, [A] and you will see, brother.
