[Verse 1]
G                                     
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am                                  
Trying to get up that great big hill
   C               G     
Of hope for a destination
  G                                    
I realized quickly when I knew I should
         Am                                   
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
   C                      G    
Of man, for whatever that means

[Pre-Chorus]
         G                                  
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am                               
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G     
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G                                     
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am                                        
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                             G   
I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"

[Chorus]
            G           Am      
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am      
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"

[Interlude]
G     Am  C G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
G     Am  C G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh

[Verse 2]
      G                    Am 
And I try, oh my God, do I try
              C                  G     
I try all the time, in this institution
      G                     Am  
And I pray, oh my God, do I pray
                    C  
I pray every single day
          G     
For a revolution

[Pre-Chorus]
         G                                  
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
        Am                               
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
      C                         G     
and I - I am feeling a little peculiar
         G                                     
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
      Am                                        
and I take a deep breath and I get real high and
  C                                             G   
I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"

[Chorus]
            G           Am      
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am      
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am      
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey Heyeyey"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
            G           Am         
And I said "Heyeyeyeyey HeyeYEYEYE"
        C                 G   
I said "Hey, what's going on?"

[Interlude]
G     Am  C G
Ooh, Ooh Ooh

[Outro]
G                                     
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Am                                      C   
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
            G    
For a destination
