For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield

 

If you're looking for the real deal, there are a couple good compilation books with tabs for this song:  Eclectic Hits for Classic Rock Guitar, and Psychadelic 60s.  Grooovy!

 

Intro:  / E - - - / A - - - / (x2)

 

VERSE 1:

E                                                    A
   There's something happening here
           E                           A
What it is ain't exactly clear
                 E                                   A
There's a man with a gun over there
             E                            A
Telling me I've got to beware

CHORUS:

                     E                  D
It's time we stop children what's that sound
A                                 C         

Everybody look what's going down      

 

/ E - - - / A - - - / (x2)

 

VERSE 2:

E                                               A
  There's battle lines being drawn
                E                             A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
E                                                   A
  Young people speaking their minds
                 E                             A
Are getting so much resistance from behind

Chorus

 

/ E - - - / A - - - / (x2)

 

VERSE 3:

E                                             A
   What a field day for the heat
E                                              A
   Ten thousand people in the streets
            E                                   A
Singing songs and carrying signs
            E                                 A
Mostly say "hooray for our side"

Chorus

/ E - - - / A - - - / (x2)

 

Verse 4:

E                        A
Paranoia strikes deep
E                           A
Into your life it will creep
    E                                     A
It starts when you're always afraid
                  E                                A
Step out of line the man come and take you away

Chorus

 

/ E - - - / A - - - / (x2)

 

End
