Jack Johnson – The News (Ukulele)

A                            Bm               A
A billion people died on the news tonight

                             Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight

           A
Well mama said

                        C#m
It's just make believe

                                      Bm
You can't believe everything you see

                                       D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

        A                     Bm
On the news tonight

A                                    Bm           A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright

                            Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight

            A
Well mama said

                                         C#m
You can't believe everything you hear

                              Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear

                          D        Dm
So baby close your ears

             Bm
On the news tonight

               F#m
On the news tonight

Bm                                 F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight

                  A
And mama said

E
Mmm

A                                                    Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die

A                                                   Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes

        A

           A                    Bm             A
On the news tonight
