People Are People

Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?
Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Verse]

    Am
So we're different colours and we're different creeds,
And different people have different needs.
It's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing wrong.
I've never even met you so what could I have done?
Fmaj7             Dm9
 I can't understand,
               F
What makes a man
               G
hate another man

help me understand.

[Chorus]

Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?
Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Verse]

            Am
Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me,
I'm relying on your common decency.

So far it hasn't surfaced,but I'm sure it exists,
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fists.
Fmaj7             Dm9
 I can't understand,
               F
What makes a man
               G
hate another man

help me understand.

[Chorus]

Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?
Am
People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?

[Outro]

Fmaj7             Dm9
 I can't understand,
               F
What makes a man
               G
hate another man
help me understand.
