Why Can't We Be Happy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm so full of love,
yet I'm sad everyday.
How can we keep on living [A]this way?
Now [D]we are in a war,
people are [G]dying [D]everyday.
With a little love, it [A]will all [D]fade away.
Can we all be happy the
[G]way it used to [D]be?
Love one another and [A]let
this world [D]be free.
Hippies in the streets,
they're learning how to roam.
And the black folks in the ghetto,
they're [A]even burning their homes.
But they're [D]trying to get a message
[G]for the whole world to see.
[D]How happy we all could
be [A]if we all were free
[D]So why can't we be happy
the [G]way it used to [D]be
Love one another and [A]let
this world be [D]free
People are hatin' more and
more every day
Understandin' is slowly
[A]gettin' further away
Now [D]what's gonna happen when
it all [G]comes to a head
[D]There'll be no world to live in,
cause we'll [A]all be [D]dead.
So why can't we be happy
the [G]way it used to [D]be?
Love one another and [A]let
this world be [D]free.
Why, why
Why?
Why?
[Dm]Why?
[D]Why?
Why?
Ooh
