Em 
   Pass me that lovely little gun 
C 
   My dear, my darling one               
Am 
   The cleaners are coming, one by one 
G            D 
   You don't even want to let them start
[Bridge]
Em   C   Am   G D
[Verse]
Em 
   They are knocking now upon your door 
C 
   They measure the room, they know the score 
Am 
   They're mopping up the butcher's floor 
G                 D 
   Of your broken little hearts
[Chorus]
Em    C    Am   G    D 
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children
[Verse]
Em 
   Forgive us now for what we've done 
C 
   It started out as a bit of fun 
Am 
   Here, take these before we run away 
G           D 
   The keys to the gulag
[Chorus]
Em        Cmaj7 
   Oooo children 
G               D                      Em 
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice 
Cmaj7 
   Children

[Verse]
Em 
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim 
C 
They're gathering round with all my friends 
Am 
We're older now, the light is dim 
G           D               Em 
And you are only just beginning
[Chorus]
      C    Am   G    D 
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children
[Verse]
Em 
We have the answer to all your fears 
C 
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear  
Am 
It's round about, it's somewhere here     
G       D               Em 
Lost amongst our winnings    
[Chorus]
Em        Cmaj7 
   Oooo children 
G               D                      Em 
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice 
Cmaj7 
   Children 
G     D        Em    C    Am     G  D 
   Rejoice, rejoice
[Verse]
Em 
The cleaners have done their job on you    
C 
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove  
Am 
They've hosed you down, you're good as new  
G               D     Em 
They're lining up to inspect you    
[Chorus]
      C    Am   G    D 
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children
[Verse]
Em 
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost     
C 
He's found the answer that was lost   
Am 
We're all weeping now, weeping because  
G                   D           Em 
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you 
[Chorus]
Em        Cmaj7 
   Oooo children 
G               D                      Em 
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice 
Cmaj7 
   Children 
G     D        Em    C    Am     G  D 
   Rejoice, rejoice
[Verse]
    Em 
Hey little train! We are all jumping on  
          C 
The train that goes to the Kingdom  
      Am 
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun     
            G        D               Em 
And the train ain't even left the station    
[Verse]
                       Em 
Hey little train! Wait for me!  
       C 
I once was blind but now I see   
  Am 
Have you left a seat for me?     
          G                     D    Em 
Is that such a stretch of the imagination? 
[Verse]
                       Em 
Hey little train! Wait for me! 
      C 
I was held in chains but now I'm free 
    Am 
I'm hanging in there, don't you see 
           G        D     Em 
In this process of elimination
[Verse]
                                Em 
Hey little train! We are all jumping on    
          C 
The train that goes to the Kingdom     
      Am 
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun   
     G                 D    Em 
It's beyond my wildest expectation   
[Verse]
                                Em 
Hey little train! We are all jumping on     
          C 
The train that goes to the Kingdom      
      Am 
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun         
G                          D        Em 
And the train ain't even left the station
