Chords

Attempt to capture chords and lyric changes for Dolly's new version of this song featuring Linda Perry: Linda seems to use Asus2 (x02200) as a transition before moving from A to Bm and Cadd9 (x3x030) or Dsus2 (xx0230) as a transition when moving from D back to A. It also seems like she sometimes plays the Bm leaving the high E string open (x24430). [Chords] A x02220 Asus2 x02200 Bm x24432 D xx0232 Dsus2 xx0230 Cadd9 x3x030 [Intro] A Asus2 Bm D Cadd9 Asus2
A        Bm   D        Asus2
  Mmmm....
[Verse]
A
 All of these years and my life is still

     Bm                                       D   Cadd9
Just tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

           Asus2
for a destination.

  A
I realized quickly when I knew I should

         Bm                                       D   Dsus2
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man,

                  Asus2
For whatever that means.
[Pre-Chorus]
         A
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

        Bm                                     D  Dsus2
Just to get it all out, what's in my head, and I,

                         Asus2
I'm feeling, a little peculiar.

         A
And so I wake up in the morning, and I step outside

      Bm
And I take a deep breath, and wonder why,

     Dsus2                                          Asus2
And I  scream at the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"
[Chorus]
                 A                  Bm
And then I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

        D   Dsus2           A
I say, "Hey,   what's going on?"

             A                  Bm
Then I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

        D   Dsus2           A
I say, "Hey,   what's going on?"
[Interlude]
A   Bm   D   A
  Mmmm....
[Verse]
      A                    Bm
And I try, oh my god, do I try

               D                 Asus2
I try all the time, in this institution.

      A                     Bm
And I pray, oh my god, do I pray

                    D              Asus2
I pray every single day, for a resolution.
[Pre-Chorus]
         A
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

        Bm                                     D
Just to get it all out, what's in my head, and I,

                         A
I am feeling, a little peculiar.

         A
And so I wake up in the morning, and I step outside

      Bm
And I take a deep breath, and wonder why,

     Dsus2                                          A    Asus4  A
And I  scream at the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

And then I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."

I say, "Hey,   what's going on?"

      A
After all these years, my life is still

Bm                                      D   Dsus2
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope

           A
For a destination.
