[Verse 1]
G
  Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am
Trying to get up that great big hill
   C               G
Of hope for a destination
  G
I realized quickly when I knew I should
         Am
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
   C                      G
Of man, for whatever that means
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                             G
I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
 
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
 
[Interlude]
G      Am  C   G
 Ooh, Ooh Ooh
G      Am  C   G
 Ooh, Ooh Ooh
 
[Verse 2]
      G                    Am
And I try, oh my God, do I try
              C                  G
I try all the time, in this institution
      G                     Am
And I pray, oh my God, do I pray
                    C
I pray every single day
          G
For a revolution
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         G
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                             G
I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
 
[Chorus]
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
 
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey HeyeYEYEYE"
        C                 G
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
 
[Interlude]
G      Am  C   G
 Ooh, Ooh Ooh
 
[Outro]
G
  Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am                                      C
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
            G
For a destination
