4 Non Blondes were an early-1990s American alternative rock band. Lead vocalist Linda Perry has since released solo work and produced songs on hit albums by P!nk and Christina Aguilera. 4 Non Blondes had a huge hit single in 1993 with "What's Up". A year later, DJ Miko remixed the track as a dance song, and it became a hit again, on radio and in clubs. In 1995, 4 Non Blondes contributed the song "Misty Mountain Hop" to the Encomium tribute album to Led Zeppelin. Linda Perry went solo in 1996 and the group disbanded after recording, but not releasing, their second album.

                            v v v v v v v ^ v v v v ^
The rhythm goes like this:  4 8 8 4 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 8   This is a little crude
but listen to the song to get the exact rhythm.  There's a little more
swing to it than how I wrote it.  The apostrophe represents a dotted note
(in this case, a dotted quarter note).  

The first A is like this: 5--   the second A is: o--
                          5--                    3--
                          -6-                    3--
                          --7                    3--
                          x                      x
                          x                      x
The Bmin is: 2--                the D is: 2--  
             -3-                          -3-
             --4                          2--
             --4                          --4
             x                            x
             x                            x

The progression is easy to play if you treat them all as bar chords.  
Just leave your forefinger on the second fret over strings 1,2,3,and 4 
except for the second A where you have to slightly raise your finger so that
the E string is open.  Slide down from the first A to the Bmin.

{Rest of the song's chord progression is the same thing}

[Chorus]
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
just to get all out, what's in my head, then 
I, I am feeling, a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside 
And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and 
I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" 
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."  
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Verse 2]
[A]     And I try, oh my god, do I try 
[Bmin]  I try all the [D] time, in this institution. [A]
[A]     And I pray, oh my god, do I pray
[Bmin]  I pray every single [D] day, for a revolution. [A]

[Chorus and last four lines of the chorus are repeated 2x more]

[Verse 3]
25 years of my life and still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of 
Hope, for a destination
