Intro
(Bm-Bm-Bm-Bm   Bm-Bm-Bm-Bm   original version tin whistle ony)
Bm-Bm-Bm-Bm   Bm-Em-A-Bm-Bm
Bm-Bm-Bm-Bm   Bm-Bm-Bm-A-Bm
 
(Bm)Little children hiding in the shadows 
(Em)Waiting for the changing of the (A)day 
(Bm)Watching for a break between the shadows 
When (Em)they can go out and start to (A)play 

Chorus
And we're (G)singing of the (A)times 
When the (D)sun will always (Bm)shine 
And (G)armoured cars and (A)tanks will fade a(D)way 
(G)People will be (A)one, and the (D)fighting will be (Bm)done 
And (G)all the little (A)children they can (D)play 

I can (Bm)hear you saying it's impossible 
Just (Em)look at the blood upon the (A)road 
But (Bm)I don't think that it's impossible 
For (Em)now we see that all our blood is (A)red 

Chorus

It (Bm)seems that cure is better then prevention 
If (Em)not then Doctor John would have no (A)pay 
And (Bm)all kings and queens would have no pensions 
If (Em)all the little children they could (A)play 

Chorus

I (Bm)don't suppose a man will stop this struggling 
If he's (Em)lying with his back upon the (A)ground 
It's (Bm)only when every man is standing 
That (Em)peace and justice can be (A)found 

Chorus
Chorus fading
