Start Jamming...
[F] So you be [Bb] comfortable.
I ain't gonna let it [F] stop me
[D] [B]
Here's the song that I gave to UNICEF a few years ago a song written for and [E] about children.
It's called rhyme
[C] [F]
[Bb]
[F]
So you speak to me [C] sadness [Bb] and the coming of [F] the [Dm] winter
Fear that is within you now [Bb] and seems to never [C] end
[F] And the dreams that have [C] escaped you [Bb] and I hope you've [F] forgotten
[Dm] And you tell me that [F] you need me now [C] and you want to be my friend
[Bb] And you wonder where we're going
[F] Where's the rhyme?
Where's [C] the reason?
[Dm] And it's you cannot [F] accept
[C] It is here.
We must begin to seek the [Gm] wisdom of the children
And the [F] graceful [Am] way [Bb] of flowers [F] in [C] the wind
For [F] the children and [C] flowers are [Bb] my sisters and [F] my brothers
[Dm] their laughter and their
Loveliness [Bb] would clear a [C] cloudy day like [F] the music of the [C] mountains
[Bb] And the colors of the [F] rainbow
[Dm] They're a promise of [F] the future [C] and a blessing for [F] today
[Gm] Though
[C] [F] the city starts to [C] crumble [Bb] and the towers fall [F] around us
[Dm] The Sun is slowly fading and it's [Bb] colder than the [C] sea
[F] It is written from the [C] desert [Bb] to the mountains.
They shall [F] need us
[Dm] By the hand by [F] the heart and [C] they will comfort you and me
In [Bb] their innocence and trusting they [F] will teach us to [C] be free
For [F] the children [C] and flowers are [Bb] my sisters and [F] my brothers
[Dm] Their [D] laughter and their [C] loveliness [Bb] would clear a cloudy [C] day
[F] And the song that [Bb] I'm singing is a [C] prayer to [F] non -believers
[Am] [D] Come and stand [F] beside us
[C] We can find [Bb] a better way
