Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Marvin Gaye Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 4 Version 5

            Here's my fairly simplistic version on Marvin Gayes' whats going on.
I tried a new chording diagram, but I also gave the chords tab directly
under it in case you can't figure it out.
Remember to play these chords loosely and kind of funky, and feel free
to use a CAPO if you want to change the key.

[Verse 1]

 [DMaj7]                       [Bm7]
Mother, mother, there's to many of you crying
 [DMaj7]                                [Bm7]
Brother, brother, brother, there's far to many of you dying.
             [Em7]                        [A13sus4]       [A13]
You know we've got to find a way, To bring some lovin' here today
 

[Verse 2]

[DMaj7]                       [Bm7]
Father, father, we don't need to escalate
        [DMaj7]                                 [Bm7]
You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
             [Em7]                         [A13sus4]     [A13]
You know we've got to find a way, To bring some lovin' here today
 

[Chorus]

[Em7]Picket lines and [A13sus4]picket signs
Don't [Em7]punish me with [A13sus4]brutality
[Em7]Talk to me, so [A13sus4]you can see
Ohhh, whats [DMaj7]going on, whats [Bm7]going on
Yeah whats [DMaj7]going on, Ahh, whats [Bm7]going on

 [DMaj7]                  [Bm7] 
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
         [DMaj7]                                   [Bm7]
Ohhh, but who are they to judge us, simply 'cause our hair is long
             [Em7]                           [A13sus4]        [A13]
You know we've got to find a way, To bring some understanding here today
 

[Chorus]

[Em7]Picket lines and [A13sus4]picket signs
Don't [Em7]punish me with [A13sus4]brutality
