Acoustic session from the Album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUCKfo1KZPA
Little tab explaining the full pattern that goes round and round :)
There are a couple of places where he puts more accent, but easy to get from listening to the song.
This is a 2 chord song, I just added the lyrics to have everything in one place :)

[Verse 1]
E F#m
People walking down, talking down on others
E F#m
You can't know yourself without knowing about the other
E F#m
And I know, That ain't the right way to go
[Verse 2]
E F#m
I've got a hunch that we don't wanted this
E F#m
Let's move away from hate and prejudice (yeah)
E F#m
The racist man you know he's full of it
E F#m
Let's learn about the culture opposite, now
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m
Don't judge a book by the cover
E F#m
People take a look at the world and discover
E F#m
That beauty is the word that I think of
E F#m
when I see the different colors of skin
E F#m
And I'll rejoice and sing for them
[Chorus]
E F#m
Oh, nooooooooooooo
E F#m
the tension keeps building up
E F#m
Oh, no, no, noooo
E F#m
Well oh noooooooooo
E F#m
the hatred keeps building up
E F#m
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
E F#m
When we come around, yeah
E F#m
Try to keep compassion on the ground, yeah
E F#m
Feel a sense of freedom with crowd, yeah
E F#m
Connecting people with the sound, oh yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 4]
E F#m
Well it's a choice to be grateful
E F#m
People focus on the enemy and that's hateful
E F#m
The daily news has got a picture of a man, they say I'm supposed to hate
E F#m
So great, just another stereotype to make
[Chorus]
E F#m
Oh, nooooooooooooo
E F#m
the tension keeps building up
E F#m
Oh, no, no, noooo
E F#m
Well oh noooooooooo
E F#m
the hatred keeps building up
E F#m
Oh, no, no, no
[Verse 5]
E F#m
Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
E F#m
Empty out the hatred in life
E F#m
Bringing only good vibes
E F#m
Bringing only good vibes
E F#m
Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
E F#m
Empty out the hatred in life
E F#m
We're bringing only good vibes
E F#m
Bringing only good vibes
