1. Em In my dream, D children G sing
A C song of love for every boy and B7 girl
The Em sky is blue and fields are green
And Am laughter is the language of the B7 world
Then I C wake and all I Bm see
Is a Am world full of people in B7 need.
Chorus: Tell me Em why(why) does it D have to be like this
Tell me C why (why) is there something i have B7 missed
Tell me Em why (why) ‘cos I don’t D understand
When so C many need somebody
We don’t give a helping B7 hand Tell me Em why?
2. Em Everyday I D ask my-G self
What C will I have to do to be a B7 man
Em Do I have to D stand and fight
To Am prove to everybody who I B7 am
Is that C what my life is Bm for
To Am waste in a world full of B7 war?
Chorus: Tell me Em why(why) does it D have to be like this
Tell me C why (why) is there something I have B7 missed
Tell me Em why (why) ‘cos I don’t D understand
When so C many need somebody
We don’t give a helping B7 hand
Bridge:Tell me Am why? tell me Bm why
Tell me C why? (tell me why)
Just tell me B7 why, why, why?

Chorus: Tell me F#m why(why) does it E have to be like this
Tell me D why (why) is there something I have C#7 missed
Tell me F#m why (why) ‘cos I don’t E understand
When so D many need somebody

Coda: Tell me F#m why (why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me E why(why why do we shoot the gun)

Can someone tell us why we let the C#7 forest burn?
(F#m why,why do we say we care)
Tell me E why(why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me D why(why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the C#7 ocean die?
(F#m why,why if we’re all the same)
