Chords:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gangstas Paradise - Coolio ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Max Wynne No capo. None of the other versions of the song sounded like the original so I thought I'd do my own tab, and this sounds very accurate, especially if you play along with the original song. So it's basically these 4 chords played throughout the whole song, enjoy :)G#maj Fm G Cme|----4----------1-------3----------3----------------------------------------------|B|----4----------1-------3----------4----------------------------------------------|G|----5----------1-------4----------5----------------------------------------------|D|----6----------3-------5----------5----------------------------------------------|A|----6----------3-------5----------3----------------------------------------------|E|----4----------1-------3----------x----------------------------------------------|Intro: G#maj Fm G Cm Verse:G#maj FmAs I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathG CmI take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' leftG#maj FmCause I've been blasting and laughing so long,G CmThat even my mama thinks that my mind is goneG#maj FmBut I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve itG CmMe be treated like a punk you know that's unheard ofG#maj FmYou better watch how you're talking and where you're walkingG CmOr you and your homies might be lined in chalkG#maj FmI really hate to trip but I gotta locG CmAs they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, foolG#maj FmI'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be likeG CmOn my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlightChorus:G#maj Fm G CmBeen spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradiseG#maj Fm G CmBeen spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradiseG#maj Fm G CmKeep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradiseG#maj Fm G CmKeep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradiseVerse: -- Play the same chord sequence for the rest of the song-- Look at the situation they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, I'm living life, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 The way things are going I don't know Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me Chorus: Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Verse: 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 cookin' They say I gotta 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: Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise Tell me why are we so blind to see That the one's we hurt are you and me Tell me why are we so blind to see That the one's we hurt are you and me
