Desert Rose Band   Darkness On The Playground   by Chris Hillman
                                                   Steve Hill

D
         Asus          A                             D   Dsus D
There's trouble on the streets  in this land of the free
Asus          A                                D   Dsus D
Freedom has a price and you know it don't come cheap
         Bm                     A
When our children are tempted  left all alone
G                        E
Seeking the values  they can't find at home
        G                           A                  D  Dsus D
There's darkness on the playground  where did right go wrong
     Asus           A                      D  Dsus  D
It's nobodys fault  but it's here just the same
     Asus             A                     D        Dsus D
Some kind of disease  and no one  takes the blame
   Bm                 A
Oh you can say to me  what's the use
G                       E
Play too hard  you know you'll  light the fire
        G                           A                      D Dsus D
There's darkness on the playground  will we win or will we lose
G      D G       G/F#         A
Darkness taking  all of your dreams
Em            G                   A
Living in shadows  is not what it seems
G    D  G            G/F#          A
Hold on hold me  you don't have to die
Em       G                  A     D   Dsus  D
Arms out reaching for a new life
   Asus              A              D    Dsus  D
To turn away is easy to follow only fools
    Asus               A                             D  Dsus D
And the way back in is hard  it's a brand new set of rules
Bm               A
I can't show you any more lies
G                 E
I only hope  that you realize
        G                           A                   D
There's darkness on the playground  and nothing left to hide
