Song: Where Do The Children Play
By: Cat Stevens
{ 6/8 }
[intro:]
|D |G |D |G |D |G |D |G |C |Em |C Em A |
|D |G |D |G
[verse: 1]
|D |G |D |G
Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
|D |G |D |G
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
|D |G |D | G
Switch on summer from a slot machine
|D |G |D |G
Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos you can get anything
[chorus:]
|Em |A |Em |A
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
|Em |A |D |G |D |G |D |G |D |G
But tell me, where do the children play
[verse: 2]
|D |G |D |G
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
|D |G |D |G
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas
|D |G |D |G
And you make them long, and you make them tough
|C |G |C |G
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off
[chorus:]
|Em |A |Em |A
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
|Em |A |D |G |D |G |D |G |D |G |C |Em |C Em A |
But tell me, where do the children play
[verse: 3]
|D |G |D |G
When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air
|D |G |D |G
Will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there
|C |G |C | G
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry
|C |G |C |G
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die
[chorus:]
|Em |A |Em |A
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
|Em |A |D |G |D |G
But tell me, where do the children play
[coda:]
|D |G |D G
Do doot do, do de do doot do
|D |G |D D {finish}
Do de do doot do do de do do
