Biography:
Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella on November 7, 1942 in New York City) is an American rock and roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.
He was versatile enough to do folk songs, blues, covers of old-time Rock n' roll songs, and some original material, all of them in his own unique style. Rivers's greatest success came in the mid and late 1960s with a string of hit songs (including "Seventh Son," "Poor Side of Town" and "Secret Agent Man") but he has continued to record and perform to the present.

G Am
You ask me why I don't smile
Em Am
Is there something troublin' me
C G Em
Just open your eyes and look around
Am G
And tell me what do you see
Can you understand the things people do
And the way they treat each other
And tell me how far has man really come
When today he's still killing his brother
Am Em
It makes no difference where you do it
Am D
Or what name you use
Bb F Dm
I know if things keep going this way
Bb F
Everyone's gonna lose
Bb F D
Everybody's gonna lose
We're doing alright with material things
You can tell by the way we live
But with all these things man has learned how to do
Still hasn't learned how to give
If you don't have the answers right now
I'll see you after a while
But if next time I still look this way
You'll know why I don't smile...
Notes:
- Intro and outro same as verses.
- These are just the root chords. There are probably added 7ths, 6ths, and other things.
- I'm not certain about the Am at the end of each verse... keep going back and forth on
how it sounds.
- If there are errors, suggestions, or improvements, PM me or comment.
