Somewhere

between your noon hour

and alarm clock setting day
Dbdim 
A 
Dm 
If you were lucky,
must be lucky,
but we're all lucky anyway
G 
C 
Set aside your routine pleasures
Am 
A 
for this most important thing
Dm 
And take the time to teach
G 
C 
Am 
Dm 
G 
your children to sing.
C 
Oh, you know, it's not like working,
Bb 
A 
And the kids will call it play,
Dm 
And as you teach them,
they will teach you,
G 
We're all teachers in a way.
C 
Set aside your routine pleasures,
Em 
A 
Sit together in a ring,
Dm 
And take the time to teach
G 
C 
your children to sing
Dm 
Now I know what you are thinking
He's a dreamer, he's a fool
G 
C

Bb 
C 
They used to keep me after school
Em 
Am 
But if the parent is the playmate
Em 
And the playground is your mind
D 
Take a lesson from the piper
Dm 
Kids choose music every time
G 
C 
before the fighting or the
Em 
Bb 
silence that they find
when they're at home
A 
Dm 
and when they grow
G 
C 
they turn to battle or find some way to be alone away from
Em 
Am 
life away from loving away from nearly everything
D 
C 
that gives us all our own
Dm 
G 
C 
good reason to sing no it
Dm 
won't take away your sorrows
but be a cure all for your pain
G 
C 
Bb 
it won't end all wars to  morrow
C 
G 
I'll bring all the deserts rain
C 
Am 
but if we start now with our children
Em 
while we still have got the time
D 
they'll be much less apt to quarrel
Dm 
G 
when a song is on their minds
somewhere somewhere
C 
Em 
between your noon hour
Bb 
and alarm clock setting day
A 
Dm 
if you were lucky must be lucky
but we're all lucky every day
