---------------------..............

*from 'Burnin'' (1973)*


Intro:

G

Verse 1:

C     D    G   G7
 Hear the children cryin',
Am             G
 But I know they cry not in vain.
C    D     G    G7
 Now the times are changin',
Am            G
 Love has come to bloom a-gain.

Bridge 1:

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

Chorus 1:

C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
       Dm        G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
      Dm       G
As they go singing by and by.

C      Am
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm       G
 Singing in the morning.
C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
        Dm       G
Let them sing, don't let them cry.

Verse 2:

C   D     G     G7
 Over rocks and mountains,
  Am            G
The sheep are scattered all a-round.
C   D     G    G7
 Over hills and valleys,
     Am        G
They are everywhere to be found.

Bridge 2:

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

Chorus 2:

C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
       Dm        G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
      Dm       G
As they go singing by and by.

C      Am
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm       G
 Singing in the morning.
C      Am
 (Hallelujah time),
        Dm       G
Let them sing, never let them cry.

C      Am
 (Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm       G
 Singing in the morning...

(Fade)
