Standard tuning
VERSE1
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I woke up this morning, hunger was gnawing my soul
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
But the preacher man's sermon, won't put no food in my bowl
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
Abidjan to Monrovia, looking for food and a home
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm...
Instead I found factions and armies, in the middle of a combat zone
CHORUS
...Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, I---I want love
Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl
VERSE2
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
Here in this tribal warfare, for food you need money or a gun
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I signed up, whose side I don't care, at least now I'm someone
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
At parade time the grown-ups are cruel, and all of the soldiers are small
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm...
Commanders and captains and colonels, all kids with their back to the wall
CHORUS
...Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, I---I want love
Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl
BRIDGE
F Bb Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
They told me I'm joining a family
F Bb Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
But here I ain't nobody's son
F Bb D7
My brothers are right here beside me
D# Dm Gm
We share our hunger and we share our gun
F Bb Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
Tomorrow we start the offensive
F Bb Cm-Cm7-Cm-Cm7
Been drinking palm wine all day
F Bb D7 D# Dm Gm...
Gri-gri men can keep us from bullets, but hash won't keep hunger at bay
CHORUS
...Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, I---I want love
Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl
VERSE3
D# Dm Gm
When it's time the small soldiers march forward
D# Dm (Gm)
When one falls the next takes his gun
(D#) (Dm) (Gm) D# Dm Gm
Four to one AK-forty-seven, I was number three but now I'm gone
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
Our future is dying right here, children only ten years old
D# Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
In this tribal colonial nightmare, we're reaping the seeds you have sown
D# Dm Gm...
We're reaping the seeds you have sown
CHORUS
...Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
We want love, we need love, all of us want love
Cm Dm Gm D# Dm Gm
We want love, we need love, and a little food in our bowls
(Cm) (Dm) (Gm)
(Cm) (Dm) (Gm)
(Cm)(Dm) (Gm) (Cm) (Dm) (Gm)
I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl.
