What About
Peter Breinholt
Open D tuning (Tuning low to high: DADF#AD)

This is based on the version released in 2008 with Jon Schmidt on piano.
I borrowed heavily from Derek Smith's tab but this version is slightly different.

VERSE 1:
          D            F#m        G/D          A7
It's been said that to live is to sorrow
          D                 F#m         G/D          A7
It's been said that there's no room for tomorrow
       D               F#m           G/D          A7
So men stand there and stare at the twilight
          D            F#m        G/D          A7
And they work out each day as it seems right

BRIDGE 1:
A7+9      D/A                     A7        D
    Oh I knew we would shine so I say Hallelujah some time
      A7+9                D/A                  Dsus
And I think now all this time has been on this road

CHORUS 1:
    D                  F#m                 G/D                 A7
And what about all the September moons and what about all the flowers in June
    D                  F#m                       G/D           A7
And what about all the times that I sit here and wonder
         D                     F#m                    G/D                 A7
You may think I'm wrong for believing this way and I could be wrong every hour of each day
      D                 F#m                 G/D                A7
And I think about every moment that I can remember

VERSE 2:
         D            F#m              G/D          A7
And they say that the silence is worth gold
         D         F#m                 G/D          A7
And they say every young man must grow old
      D            F#m        G/D          A7
So we work and we reason our times
            D          F#m           G/D          A7
Still it's quiet all around here at night

BRIDGE 2:
A7+9      D/A                      A7          D
    Oh I knew this would be and I say there is so much to see
       A7+9               D/A                  Dsus
And I think now all this time has been passing by

CHORUS 2:
    D                  A/D               
And what about all the mountains in spring
    G/D               A7
And what about every choir that sings 
    D                 F#m                    G/D          A7
And what about every mother that holds a new child
       D                  A/D          
And I think about all the times as a child
       G/D                 A7
When I couldn't keep from laughing out loud
       D                    F#m                     G/D          A7
And to catch myself I would go out and stay there a while

BRIDGE 3:
G/E          D/F#                G        D/F#           
    All this could've passed me by
G/E          D/F#                Dsus
    Standing lonely all this while

    D                  F#m                 G/D                 A7
And what about all the September moons and what about all the flowers in June
    D                  F#m                       G/D           A7
And what about all the times that I sit here and wonder
           D                     F#m                    G/D                  A7

               ...all the times that I sit here and wonder
