(verse 1) 
        F#5    E5              A5 
Sunday mornin,    where the preacher sits, 
D5 
Thou shall not kill, 
    F#5    E5       A5 
I wonder,     if nothin else, 
      D5 
about killin and that it's God's will, 
 
(pre-cho) 
F#5                         E5              
  Cause our children are watching us, 
                D5 
They put their trust in us, 
 
They're gonna be like us, 
F#5                          E5 
   So let's learn from our history, 
           D5 
And do it differently, 


    A5 
(I hope) for more love for joy and laughter, 
( D5 ) A5 
(I hope) We'll have more than we'll ever need 
( G5 ) D5 
(I hope) we'll have more Happy ever afters, 
( G5 ) A5 
(I hope) we can all live more fearlessly, 
             E5                     A5 
And we can lose all the pain and misery,  
 
(I hope) I hope

Oh Rosie,   her man gets too rough, 
D5 
 All she can say, 
          F#5      E5            A5 
Is he's a good man,   he don't mean no harm , 
      D5 
He was brought up that way, 
 
(pre-cho) 
F#5                         E5              
  Cause our children are watching us,

They put their trust in us, 
 
They're gonna be like us, 
F#5                    E5 
   It's ok for us to disagree, 
        D5

    A5 
(I hope) more love more joy and laughter, 
( D5 ) A5

  There must be a way to change what's goin on, 
A5               F#5         D5
