E5                E5           E5                E5 
    Mothers crying in the street,    children dying at their feet 
  B5      B5  B5       G5       A5  G5 
Tell me why,        oh, tell me why 
E5                 E5                 E5                         E5 
    People starving everywhere, there's too much food but there's none to spare 
  B5      B5  B5       G5       A5  G5 
Tell me why,        oh, tell me why 
 

B5     D5           G5              B5           D5     G5 
Can you see that shaft of sunlight?    Can you see it in my eyes? 
D5         A5         G5                 D5         A5         G5 
  I can feel the fire that's burning, anger and hope so deep 
            E5      E5  E5        D5      D5  D5 
So deep within my heart       but before my eyes 
        G5                   A5       A5             A5     A5 
Oh, for some it's too late 'cause it seems there's no-one listening 
 

E5                 E5             E5               E5 
    People sleeping in the streets, no roof above, no food to eat 
  B5      B5  B5       G5       A5  G5 
Tell me why,        oh, tell me why 
E5                   E5            E5             E5 
    See the questions in their eyes, listen to their children's cries 
  B5      B5  B5          G5       A5  G5 
Tell me why,        please tell me why 
 

B5          D5    G5               B5     D5      G5 
If there's a God, is He watching? Can he give a ray of light? 
D5         A5        G5               D5            A5        G5 
  So much pain and so much sorrow, tell me what does He see 
        E5         E5  E5         D5        D5  D5 
When He looks at you?        When He looks at me? 
     G5             A5    A5             A5     A5        G5 
What would He say?    It seems there's no-one listening 
 

D5         G5        C5     G5     D5           C5       G5        D5     G5 
Who would think it still could happen even in this time and place? 
D5                 C5              G5 
Politicians, they may save themselves 
B5                    A5              C5 
    Ah, but they won't save their face 
   A5            A5 
So hope against hope, it's not too late 
 

E5  E5  E5  E5  B5  B5  B5  G5  A5  G5 
 
E5                         E5 
    You say there's nothing you can do 
         E5                   E5 
Is there one rule for them and one for you? 
  B5      B5  B5        G5       A5  G5 
Tell me why,        just tell me why 
 

        B5     D5           G5              B5           D5     G5 
Listen, can you see that shaft of sunlight?    Can you see it in my eyes? 
D5         A5         G5                 D5         A5         G5 
  I can feel the fire that's burning, anger and hope so deep 
            E5      E5  E5        D5      D5  D5 
So deep within my heart       but before my eyes 
        G5                   A5       A5             A5     A5 
Oh, for some it's too late 'cause it seems there's no-one listening 
 

E5               E5           E5              E5           B5  B5  B5    G5   A5  G5 
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry,        they cry 
E5               E5           E5              E5           B5  B5  B5    G5   A5  G5 
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry,        they cry 
E5               E5           E5              E5           B5  B5  B5    G5   A5  G5 
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry,        they cry 
E5               E5       
"Hurry for me, hurry for me"
