LyricsThe Children(STEVE DAFOE 2004) (COPYRIGHTED) Chorus (quick pick high E on 3 fret) C For the children, a better place. Fmaj7 For the children, a better fate. C For our children, a happier face Fmaj7 For our children, far less hate. C For our children, a better base. Fmaj7 For our children, before its too late. Verse A G+D# Em They will inherit, this small earth. G+D# Em Taken from us, just in time. G+D# Em My kids will, keep the worth. G+D# Em To do once, was my mine. Chorus (quick pick high E on 3 fret) C For the children, a better place. Fmaj7 For the children, a better fate. C For our children, a happier face Fmaj7 For our children, far less hate. C For our children, a better base. Fmaj7 For our children, before its too late. Verse B G+/D# Em So much war, too much hate. G+/D# Em In our lives, in our soul. G+/D# Em In a hundred years, where's our fate? G+/D# Em In that time, what's the toll? Chorus C For the children, a better place. Fmaj7 For the children, a better fate. C For our children, a happier face Fmaj7 For our children, far less hate. C For our children, a better base. Fmaj7 For our children, before its too late. STRUM AND FADE OUT......... |
