WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY? (Cat Stevens)

 
INTRO:  D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G  C  Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G

         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


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?

          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

C  Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G

           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?
Em7              A              Em7                A
   I know we've come a long way    We're changing day to day--hey
Em               A                         D  G  D  G
   But tell me, where do the children play?
       D         G      D        G
Do do do, do  do  do do do do do
       D       G        D  D
Do do do do do   do do do do
