                          Gangstas Paradise - Coolio
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

No capo. None of the other versions of the song sounded like the original so I 
thought I'd do my own tab, and this sounds very accurate, especially if you play 
along with the original song.
So it's basically these 4 chords played throughout the whole song, enjoy :)

[Intro]
Ab  Fm    G    Cm

[Verse]
     Ab                             Fm
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
         G                      Cm
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
      Ab                     Fm
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long,
     G                           Cm
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
            Ab                       Fm
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
      G                       Cm
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
    Ab                             Fm
You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
   G                            Cm
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
  Ab                        Fm
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
        G                          Cm
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
Ab                         Fm
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
      G                         Cm
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight

[Chorus]
Ab            Fm                       G                Cm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Ab            Fm                       G                Cm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Ab            Fm                     G                Cm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Ab            Fm                     G                Cm

     Ab                    Fm
Look at the situation they got me facin'
        G                         Cm
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
     Ab                     Fm
So I gotta be down with the hood team
         G                          Cm
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
       Ab                 Fm
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
       G                   Cm
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
      Ab                Fm
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
       G                        Cm
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
Ab                        Fm
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
    G                       Cm
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
    Ab                 Fm
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
    G                           Cm
The way things is going I don't know
        Ab      Fm    G        Cm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
         Ab      Fm       G       Cm
That the ones we hurt are you and me

G                    Cm
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Ab                       Fm
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
             G                      Cm
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
     Ab                       Fm
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
   G                         Cm
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
Ab                    Fm
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
             G                           Cm
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

That the ones we hurt are you and me
        Ab      Fm    G        Cm
