What's So Funny
Elvis Costello

INTRO (4x):
G   C

          G       C           G     C
As I walk through this wicked world
              Em           A                 D    C
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
        G      C             G    C  
I asked myself as all looked lost
              Em       A               D    C    
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
         G                D/F#   
And each time I feel like this inside
        G7/F                C
There's one thing I want to know
G                     D                    Em         A
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?  Oh, oh
G                     D                    Em     D
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

G   C  (4x)

              G   C               G    C
And as I walk on through troubled times
   Em                 A           D    C
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
                 G      C               G     C  
So where are the strong and who are the trusted
                 Em   A            D    C
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
          G              D/F#
'Cuz each time I feel it slipping away
G7/F                  C
Just makes me want to cry
G                     D                    Em         A
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?  Oh, oh
G                     D                    Em         D

What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?  Oh, oh
