Tuning: Standard, E,A,D,G,B,E
Awesome song to play, its basically a  I V vi IV (1,5,6,4) progression in the key of F.
So if you want to take it down a little to fit your voice, it can be C,G,Am,F.
Or up a bit it can be B,F#,G#m,E.
Or you can use a capo.
But to be in key with the song its like this:
(intro)
F, C, Dm, Bb x2
       F
What's wrong with the world, mama
                   C
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
                   Dm
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
                    Bb
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
                    F
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
                  C
But we still got terrorists here livin'
        Dm
In the USA, the big CIA
                     Bb
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
                      F
But if you only have love for your own race
                      C
Then you only leave space to discriminate
                     Dm
And to discriminate only generates hate
                               Bb
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
   F
Madness is what you demonstrate
                        C
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
                     Dm
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
                      Bb
Take control of your mind and meditate
                                F
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
F                        C
People killin', people dyin'
C                                 Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Dm                           Bb
Can you practice what you preach
                                F
And would you turn the other cheek
F                        C
Father, Father, Father help us
C                           Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Dm                             Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
             F
Where is the love (Love)
              C
Where is the love (The love)
              Dm
Where is the love (The love)
                  Bb
Where is the love
                  F
The love, the love
    F
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
C
New days are strange, is the world insane
    Dm
If love and peace is so strong
                         Bb
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Bb
Nations droppin' bombs
F
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
       C
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
   Dm
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
           Bb
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
         F
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
C
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
       Dm
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
   Bb
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
     F
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
        C
If you never know truth then you never know love
             Dm
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
              Bb
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
             F
Where's the love, y'all
F                       C
People killin', people dyin'
C                                  Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Dm                             Bb
Can you practice what you preach
Bb                              F
And would you turn the other cheek
F                        C
Father, Father, Father help us
C                            Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Dm                             Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
             F
Where is the love (Love)
              C
Where is the love (The love)
              Dm
Where is the love (The love)
                  Bb
Where is the love
                  F
The love, the love
F                                            
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
C  
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Dm
Most of us only care about money makin'
Bb
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
F
Wrong information always shown by the media
C
Negative images is the main criteria
Dm
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Bb
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
F
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
C
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Dm
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Bb
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
F
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
C
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
Dm
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Bb                                       F
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
F
And ask yourself
             
              C
Where is the love
              Dm
Where is the love 
                  Bb
Where is the love
                  F
Where is the love
F                        C
Father, Father, Father help us
C                           Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Dm                             Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
             F
