Michael Franti & Spearhead - Work Hard And Be Nice

[Intro]
B F# C#m E

[Verse 1]
B F#
Everybody wants a good life and a home.
C#m E
Everybody wants a good friend when they’re alone.
B
And, everybody don’t want nobody to know
F# C#m
That everybody’s got a soul with a great big hole in the middle of it.
E
Life’s a riddle and we try to solve it.

[Chorus]
B
So, when it’s dark, look on the bright side.
F#
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.
C#m
Everybody likes gettin’ them good vibes
E
‘Cause everybody got a heart on the inside.
B
We could take all the hard lessons
F#
Add a little lovin’ and turn ‘em into blessings.
C#m
Don’t complicate it. Keep it simple.
E
Just work hard and be nice to people.
B F# C#m
Oh, just work hard and be nice to people.
E
Work hard and be nice.

[Verse 2]
B F#
I don’t need a castle or a throne.
C#m E
I’m just tryin to do a little more right than I do wrong.
B
And I don’t want nobody to know
F# C#m
That I got a soul with a great big hole in the middle of it
E
And I’m just tryin’ to fill a little of it.

[Chorus]
B
So, when it’s dark, look on the bright side.
F#
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.
C#m
Everybody likes gettin’ them good vibes

‘Cause everybody got a heart on the inside.
B
We could take all the hard lessons

Add a little lovin’ and turn ‘em into blessings.

Don’t complicate it. Keep it simple.

[Bridge]
C#m
So, keep your eyes to the skies and your feet on the ground.
E
And, if you got a frown I’ll help you turn it around and
C#m
Don’t let nobody ever tell you you can’t be
F#
Who you wanna be or who you wanna see
E
In this love or this life, or this day.

[Chorus]
B
So, when it’s dark, look on the bright side.
F#
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine.

Everybody likes gettin’ them good vibes

‘Cause everybody got a heart on the inside.

We could take all the hard lessons

Just work hard and be nice to people. All of us are equal.
E
So, just work hard and be nice to people.
