verse 1 
A                         D          A 
Torn from their families, mothers go hungry 
C#m           F#m           Bm7         E7 
To feed their children, but children go hungry 
        A                        D          A 
There's so many big men, they're out making millions 
     C#m       F#m           Bm7       E7      C Bm 
When poverty's profits, just blame the children 

             F#m                      A7 
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for? 
      Bm             F#m               D            E7 
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war 
       F#m                  A7 
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs 
       C         Bm                C  Bm    A   C Bm C Bm A 
To the slaughter house and not the promised land 

verse 2 
A                      D          A 
Dying for causes, they don't understand 
           C#m          F#m            Bm7          E7 
We've been taking their futures, right out of their hands 
A                          D             A 
They need the handouts, to hold back the tears 
        C#m     F#m         Bm7         E7  C Bm 
There's so many crying, but so few that hear 

             F#m                      A7 
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for? 
      Bm             F#m               D            E7 
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war 
       F#m                  A7 
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs 
       C         Bm                C  Bm    A   C Bm C Bm A 
To the slaughter house and not the promised land
