Where do The Children Play?

D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G  C  

Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G

          D         G          
Well I think it's fine, building 
   D       G
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                         
Yes, get what you want to if you 
 G                      D     G
want 'cos you can get anything
 Em           A                 
I know we've come a long way, 
Em             A
we're changing day to day
 Em            A                  
But tell me, where do the children
   D   G  D  G  D  G  D  G
 play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh 
green grass
For your lorryloads pumping petrol 
gas
And you make them long, and you make
 them tough
           C            G         
But they just go on and on, and it
            C         G
 seems you can't get off

Oh, I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children 
play?

C  Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G  

D  G  D  G

When you crack the sky, scrapers 
fill the air
Will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
           C       G            C
Will you make us laugh, will you 
        G
make us cry?

will you tell us when to die?
