          D5         G5             D5       G5
Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
     D5         G5         D5       G5 
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
   D5         G5           D5      G5 
Switch on summer from a slot machine
      D5                          G5                      D5     G5
Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos you can get anything


 E5           A5                 E5             A5
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
 E5            A5                     D5   G5  D5  G5  D5  G5  D5  G5
But tell me, where do the children play?


          D5         G5             D5       G5
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass 
     D5         G5         D5       G5 
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas 
   D5         G5           D5      G5 
And you make them long, and you make them tough
           C5            G5                     C5         G5 
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off 


 E5              A5                   E5              A5
Oh, I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
 E5            A5                     D5   G5  D5  G5  D5  G5  D5  G5
But tell me, where do the children play?


C5  E5  C5  E5  A5  D5  G5  D5  G5  D5  G5  D5  G5

          D5         G5             D5       G5
When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air 
   D5         G5         D5       G5 
Will you keep on building higher 
   D5         G5           D5      G5 
'Til there's no more room up there?
           C5       G5            C5        G5
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
           C5              G5                       C5      G5
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
 E5           A5
I know we've come a long way
 E5             A5
We're changing day to day--hey
 E5            A5                    D5    G5   D5  G5
But tell me, where do the children play?
  D5     G5          D5       G5
Do doot do, do de do doot do
    D5          G5       D5  D5
Do de do doot do do de do do
