The Children chords by Peggy Seeger, Ewan MacColl
Verse 1
E
F
The children are born,
Em
F
they bud and they bloom
Am
F
Four in a bed, eight in a room
E
A tapestry woven on poverty's loom
Am
E
So build a wall where the children play
Am
Till the welfare comes
E
to take them away
Am
Em
Am
The children sit in the dust and stare,
F
too hungry to move,
Em
F
too hungry to care,
E
F
E
only their eyes beg us to share,
Am
E
so build a wall and on it carve,
Am
E
behind this wall a children's star.
F
Em
The children cry and
F
crouch in the mud,
E
F
Em
F
pain in the belly and fear in the blood.
E
F
Fear is a torrent,
E
but hate is a flood.
Am
So build a wall when the
E
Am
bombers fly.
D
You needn't watch the children die.
