Chords for Bobby Womack - Save The Children

[Em] _ As I look through my eyes, the world is in a state of confusion.
Happiness is just an illusion.
_ _ _ So I kneel down and I begin to pray.
Heavenly Father, _ _ who art in heaven,
_ hallowed be [G] thy name, thy kingdom come.
_ Thy [Am] will be done on earth [F#]
as it is in heaven,
and give [B] us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us [Em] our _ _ trespasses,
and forgive those who [C] trespass against us.
[G] Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all [Am] evil.
For ever [F#] and ever.
Amen.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Say the children, [G] _ _ _ _ [A] we might [G] save the world.
_ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
As every mother's wish from [Bm] _ her boy and [Em] girl.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] Oh!
A child was born [D] inside the city yesterday.
[Em] His mother held him to her breast [D] as she began to pray.
[Em] Please let them grow up to be [D] strong and know the truth.
And [Em] have the chances you [G] take.
[B] The innocent of you, the innocent of you, the innocent of you,
you know what we have [G] to do.
Say the children, [Bm] _ _ _ _ we [A] might [Bm] save the world.
_ _ _ _ _ As every mother's wish _ _ _ from [A] her boy [Bm] and girl.
_ _ _ Oh! _
[G] A baby starts out [D] with his life against the wall.
He [Em] has to learn to survive [D] before he's under control.
[G] He needs somebody who can [D] give him a guiding hand.
[Em] We brought them into this world.
[B] They deserve a chance.
They deserve a chance.
Got to have a chance.

Save them, baby.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _

[D] them.

And _ [A] I found [Em] all the confusion.
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] _ Happiness.
_ _ Happiness.
_ [Em] Happiness is just an illusion. _ _ _
Somewhere [C] it must end.
_ Even if we have to [Am] start, stop, and start again.
[F#] A very good friend of mine said.
[B] Oh, _ _ what's going [Em] on?
What's going _ _ on?
And I [C] can remember _ another friend _ telling me.
[F#] Change won't come.
[B] _ Oh, yes it will.
_ [Em] _ _ No young boys playing in [D] the park and having fun.
