[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][Em][A][D][G][C][A]

[Verse 1]
When [D]I w[G]as younger,
much [C]younger than [Em]now[G]
I [D]thought I [G]could change the [Em]world[A]
I [Asus4]thought I[D] co[G]uld help all th[C]e people who
[G]suffered [D]I'd help [G]the world get [Em]well
[A]So I sav[D]ed up my pen[G]nies and gav[C]e them to teacher,[G]
to send [D]to the chil[G]dren out [Em]there,[A]
Those [D]children who [G]suffered from
hun[C]ger and [G]disease
Those [D]children with no [G]one to [A]care
And do [G]some of those [D]children have
[Em]children of [Asus4]their own?[A]
Chil[G]dren of chil[D]dren full [G]grown
When [D]I w[G]as younger,
much [C]younger than [G]now
[Em]I th[D]ought I could ch[G]ange your mi[A]nd
I [D]thought with a [G]song that was [C]truth
without [G]question[Em]
[D]Problems would [G]fade and [A]die
So I [D]sang about [G]love and I
[C]sang about [G]freedom
[Em]And [D]children who d[G]ie for a w[A]ord
And I [D]was not [G]alone,
there were [C]many more sick
[G]So [Em]many [D]the worl[G]d
must have heard
[A]Still [G]children go [D]hungry
with [Em]com fort un[A]known
The [G]children of chil[D]dren
fooled [G]and wronged
Children [D]of [Em]nights well -meant
[A]Children of lov[D]e long spent
[G]Children of tea[Em]rs unwept
[A]Children of [D]joy
Children of sor[G]row
Children our [Em]hope for to[A]morrow[D][G][C][G][D][Em][D]
[G][A][D][G][C][G][D][Em][D][G][A]
And chil[G]dren go [D]hungry with
com[Em]fort unknown
[A]Chi[G]ldren are childre[D]n for the[G] young
When [D]I w[G]as younger, much y[C]ounger than n[G]ow,
[Em]I tr[D]uly beli[G]eved in our ti[A]me.
The [D]flowers, the [G]captains,
[C]the beads an[G]d the bells,
[Em]The [D]peace and [G]the love
we would [A]find
We [D]thought we were differ[G]ent,
[C]we thought we were [G]new[Em]
[G]How [Em]they[D] must have[G] laughed
in their [A]graves
They knew [D]we'd grow [G]tired,
[C]they knew we'd [G]grow bored
They [D]knew we'd grow up
[G]as they [A]say
Chil[G]dren grow hungry [D]with
[Em]comfort and [A]love
Chil[G]dren of chil[D]dren full [G]grown
Children of [D]night's [Em]willment
[A]Children of lov[D]e long spent
[G]Children of tea[Em]rs unwet
[A]Children of joy[D]
Children of [G]sorrow
Children our [Em]hope
For to[A]morrow
