The Temptations-Ball of Confusion(Acapella) chords
Start Jamming...
[N] What [C] a confusion!
That's what the world is today!
[B] People moving out, [F] people moving [C] in, why?
[B] Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, [Cm] run, but you sure [D#] can't hide
[C#] An eye [F] for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Both [B] for me [C] and I'll set you [B] free!
[C] Wrap on, brother, wrap on
[B] Well, [C] the only person talking about [F#] love, man, brother, is the preacher
[C] And it seems [Bm] nobody's interested in learning [F#] but the teacher
[B]
Segregation, [F#] determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to [B] our nation
What a [C] confusion!
[B]
That's what the world is today!
[C#m] Hey!
[B] [C] The cell [C#m] appeals are at [B] an all-time [E] high
Young folks [C#] walking round with their heads in the sky
City's [B] aflame in the summertime
And [C] oh, the beat [F] goes on
[C#m] Well, [B] well, now listen
Air pollution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soul
Shooting rockets [Cm] to the moon, [C#m] kids growing up too soon
[B] Politicians say more taxes will [G] solve [C] everything
And the [C#] band played on
[E]
[Cm] So [C] round and around we go
Where the [E] world's headed, nobody knows
[Bm] [F#] Thank you, Oogamooga, [A#m] can't you hear me [C#] talking to you?
[B] That's a ball of [C] confusion
[Bm] That's what the world [C] is [A] today!
Yeah, [B] yeah
Fear [E] in the air, tension [B] everywhere
Unemployment rising faster, [C] Beatles, new records, and gas
[E] And the only safe place [C] to live is on an [G] Indian reservation
[C] [D#] And the [C#] band played on
[N] [C#] [C] E-bob destruction, tax [C#] deductions
City inspectors, bill [A#m] collectors
Hard clothes in [Cm] demand, [F#m] population out of hand
Suicide, too many [E] bills, hippies moving to the [C] hill
People all over the world are [G] shouting, end the war
[C] And the band played [C#] on
[B] Thank you, Oogamooga, [C#] can't you hear me [C] talking to you?
It's a ball of confusion
[Cm] That's what the world is today!
[A#m] [Bm] Yeah, yeah
Let me hear, let me hear, [C] let me hear
Say it, ball of confusion
[F] [C] Let
[B] [C] [F] me hear, let me hear, let [C] me hear
Say it, ball of confusion
[C#]
That's what the world is today!
