WHAT’S UP chromatic
By: Linda Perry
4 Non Blondes
Key: A

 5*  5*  5*    5*  5* 5*  5*   5*   6   -3
Twen-ty five years of my life and still I’m 
  -4   -4 -4  -4  -3    6    6   -4  4*  -3
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
-3 -2* -3 -3 4*  -3
For a des-ti-na-tion.
2  4*   4*   4*  4*  4*  2  4*  4*  6
I real-ize quick-ly when I know I should
 6    6   -4   -4   -4  -4 -4  -3
That the world was made up of this
  6   6   -4  4* -3
Broth-er-hood of man
-3  -2*  -3 -3  4*   -3
For what-ev-er that means

 6  6  6  8*  8*   -7
And so I cry some-times 
 -7  -7  6   6  6  -5
when I'm ly-ing in bed
 -5  5* -5  -5  8* -8    -5    -5 8*  -8
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
-8  8* -7-7  -7  -7 -7 -7  -7 -4  -4   4*
And I, I am feel-ing a lit-tle pe-cul-iar
 6  6  6  8*  8*  8*  -7  -7  -7 -7  6
And so I wake in the morn-ing and I step
 6   6   -5  5* -5 -5  8*   -8
Out-side and I take a deep breath
-5 -5  8*  8*   -7
And I get real high
-6* -7  -7    -6* -6* -7 -6* -7  -7
And I scream from the top of my lungs
 -8    -8 8*  -7
What's go-in' on?

 6 -6* 6 8*-76-55* 8*-7-5
And I say   hey     hey
-8 8*  -7     -8   -8 8*  -7
I said hey! what's go-in' on
-8  8* 8*-76-55* 8*-7-5
I said   hey      hey
-8 8*  -7     -8   -8 8*  -7
I said hey! what's go-in' on
6 -6* 6 8*-76-55* 8*-7-5
And I say   hey     hey
-8 8*  -7     -8   -8 8*  -7
I said hey! what's go-in' on
 5* 5* 5*  5* 5*  6  6 -3 -4
And I try, oh my God do I try
-3 -4 -4   4*  -3
I try all the time
-3  -4  -3 -3  4*  -3
In this in-sti-tu-tion
 2  4* 4*   4* 4*  6  6  6  -4
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
-3  6  6   -4 -5   4* -3  
I pray ev-‘ry sin-gle day
-3 -2* -3-3 4*  -3
For a rev-o-lu-tion

 6  6  6  8*  8*   -7
And so I cry some-times 
 -7  -7  6   6  6  -5
when I'm ly-ing in bed
 -5  5* -5  -5  8* -8    -5    -5 8*  -8
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
-8  8* -7-7  -7  -7 -7 -7  -7 -4  -4   4*
And I, I am feel-ing a lit-tle pe-cul-iar
 6  6  6  8*  8*  8*  -7  -7  -7 -7  6
And so I wake in the morn-ing and I step
 6   6   -5  5* -5 -5  8*   -8
Out-side and I take a deep breath
-5 -5  8*  8*   -7
And I get real high
-6* -7  -7    -6* -6* -7 -6* -7  -7
And I scream from the top of my lungs
 -8    -8 8*  -7
What's go-in' on?

 6   -7  -2*6-54*-3
Ooh, ooh    Ooh
-2*6-54*-3  -3 -3
Ooh         uh-huh

5*  5*  5*    5*  5* 5*  5*   5*   6   -3
Twen-ty five years of my life and still I’m 
  -4   -4 -4  -4  -3    6    6   -4  4*  -3
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
-3 -2* -3 -3 4*  -3
For a des-ti-na-tion.
