----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 :) Ab Fm G Cm e|----4---1---3---3--| B|----4---1---3---4--| G|----5---1---4---5--| D|----6---3---5---5--| A|----6---3---5---3--| E|----4---1---3---x--| [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 Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise [Verse] 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 [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 Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise [Verse] Ab Fm Power and the money, money and the power 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 [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 Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise [Outro] 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 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
