D D7 D C G D C D C D [Verse 1]
C If the school bell had rung
D C Would it have rung a death knell?
D C Now the dark day has gone
D And there isn't any bell [Chorus]
G D G In the flower of their youth
D C How were they to know?
D C And now there's so few left
D D7 D D7 D And not all the flowers grow [Chorus]

[Verse 2]
C Just think how you would feel
D C Had one been a child of yours
D C And you look out every day
D And still see the coal seam sores [Chorus]
G D G In the flower of their youth
D C How were they to know?
D C And now there's so few left
D D7 D D7 D And not all the flowers grow [Verse 3]
C To remind you of that day
D C Just you look out in the rain
D C And although some children p1ay
D It will never be the same [Chorus]
G D G In the flower of their youth
D C How were they to know?
D C And now there's so few left
D D7 C And not all the flowers grow
D C And now there's so few left
D D7 And not all the flowers grow
