 Emaj7                                            C#m7
Brother, brother, brother    There's far too many of you dying 
               F#m11
You know we've got to find a way 
               B9sus4
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

         Emaj7                                     C#m7
You see, war is not the answer    For only love can conquer hate 
               F#m11
You know we've got to find a way      
               B9sus4
To bring some lovin' here today 
 
 F#m11            B9sus4
Picket lines and picket signs 
 F#m11                 B9sus4
Don't punish me with brutality

      Emaj7                                             C#m7
Oh, but who are they to judge us    Simply because our hair is long 
                    F#m11
Oh, you know we've got to find a way 
                  B9sus4
To bring some understanding here today 
Oh
