    For What It's Worth

  • Artist:

    Buffalo Springfield

E5                   A5 
There's something happening here 
            E5                A5 
And what it is ain't exactly clear 
          E5                   A5 
There's a man with a gun over there 
        E5                     A5 
Telling me that I've got to beware 
 
Chorus #1: 
                      E5                D5 
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound 
A5                   C5  ( D5 )  E5   E5  A5  E5  A5 
Everybody look what goin' down 
  
There's battle lines being drawn 

And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong 

Young people speaking their minds 

Getting so much resistance from behind ...Chorus 
  
Chorus #2: 
              E5           D5 
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound 
A5                   C5  ( D5 )  E5   E5  A5  E5  A5 
Everybody look what goin' down 
 

 E5                       A5    A5 G5 E5 
What a field day for the heat ooooh 
  E5                       A5      A5 G5 E5 
A thousand people in the street  ooooh 
         E5                   A5     A5 G5 E5 
Singin' songs, and carryin' signs  ooooh 
        E5                   A5     A5 G5 E5 
Mostly say "hooray for our side"  ooooh ...Chorus #2 
  
Paranoia strikes deep 
Into your life it will creep 
It starts when you're always afraid 
Step outta line, the men come, and take you away  
Chorus (REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES)
