Cat Stevens 1970 (Tea for The Tillerman) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Do_the_Children_Play%3F [Intro] D G D G D G D G C Em C Em A D G D G [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  D G  D G 
 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
