          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? 
 
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass  
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas  
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  
 
Oh, I know we've come a long way 
We're changing day to day 
But tell me, where do the children play? 
 
C  Em  C  Em  A  D  G  D  G  D  G  D  G 
 
When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air  
Will you keep on building higher  
'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
