Gansta's Paradise Tab par Coolio

I also enjoy playing the E as an E7. Try that out and see what you think.

       F                                              Am
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
              E                              Am
I take a look at my life and realize there's none left
             F                                 Am
'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
  E                                               Am
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
         F                                             Am
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
            E                                    Am
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
            F                                          Am
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
            E                                Am
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
     F                             Am
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
             E                                    Am
As they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke fool
F                                        Am
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
     E                                               Am
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
CHORUS
F                              Am                           E                          Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

       F                                              Am
They got the situation, they got me facing
              E                              Am
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
       F                                              Am
So I gotta be down with the hood team
              E                              Am
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
       F                                              Am
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
              E                              Am
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
       F                                              Am
I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
              E                              Am
And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger fool
       F                                              Am
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
              E                              Am
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
       F                                              Am
I'm twenty three never will I live to see 24
              E                              Am
The way things is going I don't know

PRE-CHORUS
              F        Am       E        Am
Tell me why are we so blind to see
              F        Am       E        Am
That the ones we hurt are you and me.

CHORUS
F                              Am                           E                          Am

F                              Am                           E                          Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Repeat F   Am    E    Am
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck fool

CHORUS
F                              Am                           E                          Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F                              Am                           E                          Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
              F        Am       E        Am
Tell me why are we so blind to see
               F           Am       E          Am
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
              F        Am       E        Am
Tell me why are we so blind to see
              F        Am       E        Am
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
