Oh Where Oh Where Is Love

The Kinks

Tom: D

     D
In a world full of jive

Full of homicide and suicide,
        G           A          D
There`s no room for love and romance

In a world full of spite

Full of hatefulness and bitterness
   G      A             D
Sincerity don`t stand a chance
    Bm            Bm/A
And every night I close my eyes
    Bm/G#          Bm/G
And ask the stars above,
   A                   A7                 D
Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?

Where is love and romance
      D7         G  G/F#  Em         Em/D
And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales
        Em/G     A
And the ordinary things people did long ago.
 A7          D
Where did it go?
 D
Where is love?

Where is hope?
         D7           G      G/F#
Where is sympathy and trust?
         Em
Where is faith?
         Em/D      Em/G
Where is joy in simplicity?
    A
And where is regard and respect?
   A7                 D
Oh where, oh where is love?
     A
This world is spinning and turning
                       D
And my head is full of learning
       Bm                 Em
But my thoughts keep on returning
       A                D
To the things I used to know.
            A
I should be stronger,
                        D
But my mind continually wanders
    Bm
And deep inside
  Em
A voice keeps crying
 A                 D
Where, oh where is love?


Where is love and romance, 
      D7         G  G/F#  Em         Em/D
And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales,
        Em/G     A
And the ordinary things people did long ago?
A7           D
Where did it go?

In a world full of jive, 

Full of homicide and suicide,
        G           A          D
There's no room for love and romance

In a world full of rape,

Full of hatefulness and bitterness,
   G      A             D
Sincerity don't stand a chance.
    Bm            Bm/A
And every night I close my eyes
    Bm/F#         Bm/G
And ask the stars above,
   A                   A7                 D
Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?
         A        D
Where oh where is love?

Where is love?

Where is hope?
         D7           G        G/F#
Where is sympathy and trust?
         Em
Where is faith?
         Em/D       Em/G
Where is joy and simplicity
    A
And where is regard and respect?
   A7                 D
Oh where, oh where is love?
   A7                D
Oh where oh where is love?
   A7                D
Oh where oh where is love?
