          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

               D                         G                          D                       G

But they just go on and on,       and it seems you can't get off

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

When you crack the sky,        scrapers fill the air

              D                         G                  

Will you keep on building higher

                               D                          G                 

'til there's no more room up there?

              D                     G                D                      G

Will you make us laugh,      will you make us cry?

              D                            G                         D                       G

Will you tell us when to live,     will you tell us when to die?

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?
