Lời & hợp âm

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

[Verse 1]
[Em]Pass me that lovely little gun
[C]My dear, my darling one
[Am]The cleaners are coming, one by one
[G]You don't even want to let[D] them
[Em]star[C]t[Am][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[Em]They're knocking now upon your door
[C]They measure the room,
they know the score
[Am]They're mopping up the butcher's floor
[G]Of your broken lit[D]tle hearts
[Em](Oh, [C]chi[Am]ldre[G]n)[D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Forgive us now for what we've done
[C]It started out as a bit of fun
[Am]Here, take these before we run away
[G]The keys to [D]the gulag

[Chorus 1]
[Em](Oh, [C]children)[G]
(Lift up your [D]voice, lift up your voice)
[Em](Chi[C]ldren)[G]
(Re[D]joice, rejoice)

[Interlude 1]
[Em]Come on, come [C]on
[Am]Come on, [G]come [D]on

[Verse 4]
[Em]Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
[C]They're gathering round with all my friends
[Am]We're older now, and the light is dim
[G]And you are only jus[D]t beginning
[Em](Oh, [C]chi[G]ldr[D]en)[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]We have the answer to all your fears
[C]It's short, it's simple, it's crystal-clear
[Am]It's roundabout and it's somewhere here
[G]Lost amongst our[D] winnings

[Chorus 2]
[Em](Oh, [C]children)[G]
(Lift up your [D]voice, lift up your voice)
[Em](Chi[C]ldren)[G]
(Re[D]joice, rejoice)

[Verse 6]
[Em]The cleaners have done their job on you
[C]They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
[Am]They've hosed you down,
you're good as new
[G]And they're lining up to [D]in [Em]spect you
[C](ch[Am]ildre[G]n)[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
[C]He's found the answer that we lost
[Am]We're all weeping now, weeping because
[G]There ain't nothing we can do [D]to

[Chorus 3]
[Em](protect you) (chi[C]ldren)[G]
(Lift up your [D]voice, lift up your voice)
[Em](Chi[C]ldren)[G]
(Re[D]joice, rejoice)

[Bridge 1]
[Em](Hey little train, train, we're jumping on)
(The [C]train that goes to the Kingdom)
[Am]We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the [G]train ain't even left [D]the station
[Em](Hey, little train, wait for me)
(I [C]once was blind but now I see)
And [Am]have you left a seat for me?
Is that [G]such a stretch of the imag[D]ination
[Em](Hey little train, wait for me)
(I was [C]held in chains but now I'm free)
[Am]I'm hanging in there, don't you see?
In this [G]process of e[D]limination
[Em](Hey little train, we're jumping on)
(The [C]train that goes to the Kingdom)
[Am]We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's bey[G]ond my wildest [D]expectation
[Repeat and fade]
