Emaj7        
Mother, mother
                 C#m7
There's too many of you crying 
Emaj7           
Brother, brother, brother
                     C#m7
There's far too many of you dying 
                F#m7
You know we've got to find a way 
               A/B             B13
To bring some lovin' here today 
Emaj7    
Father, father

We don't need to escalate 
          Emaj7                     
You see, war is not the answer
                   C#m7
For only love can conquer hate 
                F#m7
You know we've got to find a way      
               A/B             B13
To bring some lovin' here today

Mother, mother, 
            C#m7
Everybody thinks we're wrong 
         Emaj7      
Oh, but who are they to judge us
                    C#m7
Simply because our hair is long 
                    F#m7
Oh, you know we've got to find a way 
                     A/B               B13  
To bring some understanding here today
