For What It's Worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware

E - - - / A - G - // (4x)

 C:	I think it's time we, stop children
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.

E - D - / A - C - // ( E - - - / A - G - /  x2  //)

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
There's young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

 C:	Stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and they're carrying signs
Mostly say, “hooray for our side”

 C:	Stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It stops when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

 C:	You better, stop, hey
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.

(Repeat chorus 4x)
