VERSE1
Eb   Dm           Gm       Eb          Dm        Gm
   I woke up this morning, hunger was gnawing my soul 
Eb         Dm             Gm            Eb     Dm         Gm
   But the preacher man's sermon, won't put no food in my bowl 
Eb      Dm        Gm    Eb           Dm        Gm
   Abidjan to Monrovia, looking for food and a home 
  Eb            Dm            Gm            Eb          Dm     Gm...
Instead I found factions and armies, in the middle of a combat zone 

CHORUS
     ...Cm  Dm         Gm   Eb Dm      Gm
I want love,   I need love, I---I want love 
       Cm   Dm         Gm   Eb            Dm        Gm
I want love,   I need love, and a little food in my bowl 

VERSE2
Eb           Dm       Gm         Eb             Dm        Gm
Here in this tribal warfare, for food you need money or a gun 
          Eb        Dm           Gm      Eb        Dm      Gm
I signed up, whose side I don't care, at least now I'm someone 
     Eb            Dm              Gm         Eb         Dm          Gm
At parade time the grown-ups are cruel, and all of the soldiers are small 
   Eb            Dm           Gm          Eb               Dm          Gm...
Commanders and captains and colonels, all kids with their back to the wall 

CHORUS
     ...Cm  Dm         Gm   Eb Dm      Gm
I want love,   I need love, I---I want love 
       Cm   Dm         Gm   Eb            Dm        Gm
I want love,   I need love, and a little food in my bowl 

BRIDGE
     F             Bb           Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
They told me I'm joining a family
    F             Bb        Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
But here I ain't nobody's son 
   F             Bb          D7
My brothers are right here beside me 
             Eb            Dm          Gm
We share our hunger and we share our gun 
  F           Bb             Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7  
Tomorrow we start the offensive
      F             Bb        Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
Been drinking palm wine all day 
          F       Bb         D7           Eb              Dm        Gm...
Gri-gri men can keep us from bullets, but hash won't keep hunger at bay 

CHORUS
     ...Cm  Dm         Gm   Eb Dm      Gm
I want love,   I need love, I---I want love 
       Cm   Dm         Gm   Eb            Dm        Gm
I want love,   I need love, and a little food in my bowl 

VERSE3
           Eb            Dm              Gm
When it's time the small soldiers march forward 
       Eb          Dm             (Gm)
When one falls the next takes his gun 
(Eb)       (Dm)       (Gm)        Eb               Dm       Gm
Four to one AK-forty-seven, I was number three but now I'm gone 
     Eb        Dm   Gm          Eb             Dm          Gm
Our future is dying right here, children only ten years old 
        Eb        Dm    Gm               Eb          Dm              Gm
In this tribal colonial nightmare, we're reaping the seeds you have sown 
      Eb          Dm              Gm...
We're reaping the seeds you have sown 

CHORUS
     ...Cm  Dm         Gm    Eb     Dm      Gm
We want love,  we need love, all of us want love 
        Cm  Dm         Gm    Eb           Dm          Gm
We want love,  we need love, and a little food in our bowls
(Cm)  (Dm)  (Gm)  
(Cm)  (Dm)  (Gm)

       (Cm)(Dm)       (Gm) (Cm)         (Dm)       (Gm)
I want love,   I need love, and a little food in my bowl.
