[Verse]
G#
All my mother's worried
D#
'Cause she feels the world is ending
F# F#m
She believes that everything is coming to an end
G#
Papa being real careful
D#
Cause his brother Sam was robbed
F# F#m
trying to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
See how the world scared
G# F# F
All the streets turning bad
A#
Most of the news is bad
G# F# F
Crime just breeds in the air
[Chorus]
F A#
Sad is the song rolling along
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
F A#
When is the tune now we are doomed
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
[Verse]
G#
Cost of livin's up
D#
But the pay is low down
F#
Hate to see the baby starve
F#m
'Cause mama can't be found
G#
Sister lives alone
D#
Bolts and chains her door at night
F# F#m
Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
See how the world scared
G# F# F
All the streets turning bad
A#
Most of the news is bad
G# F# F
Crime just breeds in the air
[Chorus]
F A#
Sad is the song rolling along
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
F A#
When is the tune now we are doomed
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
[Verse]
G#
Brother Bill gone fighting
D#
In a place where he is a stranger
F# F#m
But could men die a stranger in every war
G#
We all hide in shame
D#
Boldly pour into another
F# F#m
When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves In ourselves
[Chorus]
F A#
Sad is the song rolling along
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
F A#
When is the tune now we are doomed
D# G#
Everything is happenin'
[Outro]
