G               A               G               F
You say you’ll be the one, president of the greening,

G                A              G           F
You speak with a silver tongue, but I dont get your meaning.

G               A            G              F
The skies are clounding fast, the world is spinning so,

G             A           G           F
Why can’t we work it out, why does it have to go? (F ////)

When it’s too late to cry, the time has come to fear,

For our children, for our children,

     A   Bm                A
For our children, for our children.
[Verse 2]
G               A               G               F
The winters are warmer now, we no longer see the snow.

G              A          G             F
Dark angel is in the sky it’s time for us to go.

G               A               G               F
The oceans are fouling now, the fish the cannot breathe,

G               A                  G            F
Can’t you see the storm a-rising, it’s time for us to leave. (F ////)

For our children, for our children,

     A   Bm                A
For our children, for our children.
[Bridge]
D                       E               A               G
We sit and think about how life has passed us by,

D                       E               A               G
Too late to recriminate the time has come to try.

D                       E               A               G
We sit and think about how life has passed us by,

D                       E               A               G
Too late to recriminate the time has come to die.
