Stephen Stills

 

For What It's Worth (From the Last Time Around  album, Buffalo Springfield)

 

E A

There's something happening here

E A

And what it is ain't exactly clear

E A

There's a man with a gun over there

E A

Telling me that I've got to beware

 

CHORUS #1

E D

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound

A C (D) E E A E A

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

E D

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound

A C (D) E E A E A

Everybody look what goin' down

 

E A A G E

What a field day for the heat ooooh

E A A G E

A thousand people in the street ooooh

E A A G E

Singin' songs, and carryin' signs ooooh

E A A G E

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)

 

RIFF:
