The song doesnt actually strum any chords. Rather its picking the entire time, but I
it out for everyone. The ending of the intro, the Bm7, is just my interpretation, but it works.

Em7 Bm7 Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo Em7 Bm7 Ako'y may dala-dalang, balita galing sa bayan ko Cmaj Dmaj Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento Em7 Ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap Bm7 Em7 Sa lupang pinangako
Verse 1:
Every place got a ghetto this is my version
Check it out...
Em7 Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell Bm7 A version of my ghetto where life felt for real Em7 Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven Bm7 God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living Cmaj How would you feel if you had to catch your meal? Dmaj Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in. Em7 Having to pump the water outta the ground Bm7 The way we put it down utilizing what is around Cmaj Like land for farming, river for fishing Dmaj Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can Em7 We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland.
[Chorus]
Verse 2:
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on
Em7 Man it feels good to be back at home Bm7 And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone Em7 I was fourteen when I first left Philippines Bm7 I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day Cmaj To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal Dmaj Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel! Em7 Now life has changed for me in the U.S Bm7 But back at home man, life was a mess... Cmaj Dmaj I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down (on your knees) Em7 Oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...
[Chorus]
