Somebody To Love by Jefferson Airplane | Lyrics with Guitar Chords

Lead Singer Grace Slick was originally part of another band called The Great Society before she joined Jefferson Airplane and bringing this song with her to be re-recorded. It was recorded with her previous band but had failed to make an impact. The song’s counter message to the 60s “free love” era stuck out as a warning against that message’s dark side.
