[Intro]
D G D G D G D G C Em C Em A

D G D G

[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse]
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]
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 C Em C Em A
But tell me, where do the children play?
[Verse]
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?
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?
[Chorus]
Em A
I know we've come a long way
Em A
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 doot do, do de do doot do
D G D D
Do de do doot do do de do do
