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


 Em              A                   Em              A
Oh, 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?


C  Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G

          D         G             D       G
When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air 
   D         G         D       G 
Will you keep on building higher 
   D         G           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?
 Em7           A
I know we've come a long way
 Em7             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
