[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
