Subject: Re: What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding?
You've got it bass-ackwards! It was written by Nick Lowe when he was with
Brinsley Schwartz, and recorded later by E'vis. Here 'tis in ChordPro format!
{t:(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?}
{st:Nick Lowe}
{C:Intro}
(4x)}
As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I asked myself as all looked lost
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I want to know:
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
(4x)}
And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong and who are the trusted
And where is the harmony - sweet harmony?
'Cuz each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me want to cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
(6x)}
So........
Where are the strong and who are the trusted
And where is the harmony - sweet harmony?
'Cuz each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me want to cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh, oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
{C:Fade on repeated G C}

I don't think that's quite right. This is how I play it:
{t:What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding?}
{st:Nick Lowe}
{define: G7/F 1 1 0 0 0 2 1}
(repeat 4x)
As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
'Cause each time I feel like this inside, one thing I wanna know:
{soc}
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
{eoc}
(repeat 4x)
As I walk on through troubled times.
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes.
{C:%}
So where are the strong ones? And who are the trusted?
And where is the har- - -mony? Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
{C:Chorus}
{C:Break:}
(repeat 6x)
Ohhhh - - -
{c: repeat from %}
