Where Do The Children Play?

V1:	Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
I've taken a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
You get what you want to if you want
'Cause you can get anything now

D - - - / G - - - / D - - - / G - - - // (4x)

  C:	I know we've come along way
We're changing day to day
But, tell me where do the children play?

Em - - - / A - - - /  x2  /  x2  / D - - - / G - - - //
( D - - - / G - - - / D - - - / G - - - //)
 
 V2:	Well you roll on the roads, over fresh green grass
For your lorrie loads pumping petrol gas
And you make them long and make them tough
But they just go on and on and it seems you can't get off

D - - - / G - - - /  x2   /  x2   /  x2  / D/C - - - / D/B - - - /  x2  /  x2  /  x2  //

  C:	I know we've come along way
We're changing day to day
But, tell me where do the children play?

 V2:	Well you cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
Will you keep on building higher til there's no more room up there
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

  C:	I know we've come along way
We're changing day to day
But, tell me where do the children play?
