I Want Love

I WANT LOVE - Jehro

Tabbed by: Kengus

Standard tuning

VERSE1

I woke up this morning, hunger was gnawing my soul

But the preacher man's sermon, won't put no food in my bowl

Abidjan to Monrovia, looking for food and a home

Instead I found factions and armies, in the middle of a combat zone

CHORUS

I want love, I need love, I---I want love

I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl

VERSE2

Here in this tribal warfare, for food you need money or a gun

I signed up, whose side I don't care, at least now I'm someone

At parade time the grown-ups are cruel, and all of the soldiers are small

Commanders and captains and colonels, all kids with their back to the wall

CHORUS

I want love, I need love, I---I want love

I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl

BRIDGE

They told me I'm joining a family

But here I ain't nobody's son

My brothers are right here beside me

We share our hunger and we share our gun

Tomorrow we start the offensive

Been drinking palm wine all day

Gri-gri men can keep us from bullets, but hash won't keep hunger at bay

CHORUS

I want love, I need love, I---I want love

I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl

VERSE3

When it's time the small soldiers march forward

When one falls the next takes his gun

(Eb) (Dm) (Gm) Eb Dm Gm

Four to one AK-forty-seven, I was number three but now I'm gone

Our future is dying right here, children only ten years old

In this tribal colonial nightmare, we're reaping the seeds you have sown

We're reaping the seeds you have sown

CHORUS

We want love, we need love, all of us want love

We want love, we need love, and a little food in our bowls

(Cm) (Dm) (Gm)

(Cm) (Dm) (Gm)

(Cm)(Dm) (Gm) (Cm) (Dm) (Gm)

I want love, I need love, and a little food in my bowl.
