*from 'Burnin'' (1973)*


Intro:

G+G

Verse 1:

C majorC     D MajorD    G+G   G7G7
 Hear the children cryin',
A minorAm             G+G
 But I know they cry not in vain.
C majorC    D MajorD     G+G    G7G7
 Now the times are changin',
A minorAm            G+G
 Love has come to bloom a-gain.

Bridge 1:

FF       C majorC    G+G
 Smelling the air when Spring comes by raindrops,
FF       C majorC    G+G
 Reminds us of youthful days.
FF         C majorC  G+G
 But now it's not rain, that water the cane crops,
FF
 But the sweat from man's brow,
F minorFm
 The substance from our spine.
We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time.

Chorus 1:

C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
       DmDm        G+G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
      DmDm       G+G
As they go singing by and by.

C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
DmDm       G+G
 Singing in the morning.
C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
        DmDm       G+G
Let them sing, don't let them cry.

Verse 2:

C majorC   D MajorD     G+G     G7G7
 Over rocks and mountains,
  A minorAm            G+G
The sheep are scattered all a-round.
C majorC   D MajorD     G+G    G7G7
 Over hills and valleys,
     A minorAm        G+G
They are everywhere to be found.

Bridge 2:

FF       C majorC    G+G
 But though we bear our burdens now,
FF    C majorC          G+G
 All af-flictions got to end, somehow.
FF         C majorC    G+G
 From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough,
FF             F minorFm
 Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony?
We like to be free, like birds in a tree.

Chorus 2:

C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
       DmDm        G+G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
      DmDm       G+G
As they go singing by and by.

C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
DmDm       G+G
 Singing in the morning.
C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time),
        DmDm       G+G
Let them sing, never let them cry.

C majorC      A minorAm
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
DmDm       G+G
 Singing in the morning...

(Fade)
