[Verse]

       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

[Chorus]

  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?

[Verse]

         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

[Chorus]

  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  C Em C Em A
But tell me,  where do the children play?

[Verse]

         D             G          D           G
When you crack the sky,  scrapers fill the air
         D                G      
Will you keep on building higher
                     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?

[Chorus]

Em           A
I know we've come a long way
Em             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
