Ball Of Confusion Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][A5][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]People movin' out,
people movin' in.
Why, because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on.
Well, the only person talkin' 'bout
love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in
learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration,
integration, aggravation,

[Verse 2]
humiliation, obligation to our nation
[Am]Ball [C]Of Confusion [G]tha[Am]t's what the
world is [C]today [D](ye[G]ah,[Am] yeah)
The sale of pills [C]is at an [Am]all
[G]time [Am]high
young folks walkin' 'round [C]with their
[Am][C][G][Am][C]
[Am]heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summer time,
and oh the beat goes on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors,
Evolution, revolution, gun control,
the sound of soul,
Shootin' rockets to the moon,
kids growin' up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve ev'rything,
and the band played [C]on.[Am][C][G]
[Am]Round and round and around [C]we [Am]go,
where the world's headed [C]nobody [Am]knows.[D]
[E]
[G]Great googa mooga, can't
you hear me talkin' to you, just a
[Am]Ball of [G]Confusion [Am]that's what
the world [C]is today. (yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]
[Am]Fear in the air,
tension ev'rywhere
Unemployment rising fast,
the Beatle's new record's a gas,
and the only safe place to live
is on an Indian reservation,
and the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax [E]deduction,
[Am]City inspectors, bill collecto[C]rs,[Am]
mod clothes in [D]demand,
[Am]population out [C]of [D]hand, suicide too many bills,
[C]hippies [Am]movin' to the hills
People [G]all over the [Am]world are shouting end
the war and the [C]band [Am]played on.
Round and round [G]and around [Am]we go, where the
[G]world's headed [Am]nobod[G]y [Am]knows.
Great [D]googa mooga, can't [Am]you hear
me talkin' to you, just a
Ball of Con[C]fusion [Am]that's what
[C]the[Am] world is today
Let me hear you, let me hear you,
let me hear [C]you[Am]
Ball Of Confusion that's what the world

[Outro 1]
is today
