For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield

There's somethin' happenin' here … [Intro]

What it is ain't exactly clear - …    (x2)

There's a man with a gun over there …  B B

E-tellin' me, I've got to beware       E E

I think

                      [Chorus] B A E G

(It's time we stop,           (B B E E x2)

     (children)), what's that sound

Everybody look what's goin' down


There's battle lines bein' drawn     - …

Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong - …

Young people speakin' their minds    - …

E-gettin' so much resistance

From behind                       [Chorus]

                                     (hey)

What a field day for the heat    - …

A thousand people in the street  - …

Singin' songs and carryin' signs - …

Mostly sayin' hooray for our side

                                  [Chorus]

Paranoia strikes deep - …            (hey)

Into your life, it will creep - …

It starts when you're always afraid - …

Step out of line, the men come and

Take you away

                 [Chorus] B A E G (x2~1~1)

     (You better stop, (hey/now/children))
