_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [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 [D] to let [Em] them _ start.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [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 [Bm] your broken little [Em] heart.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ Oh, _ children.
[Em] _
Forgive us now for what we've done.
_ [C] _
Started out as a bit of fun.
_ [Am] _
Here, take these before we [G] run away. _
_ The [D] keys to [Em] the good land.
Oh, _ _ _ [C] _
children.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ Lift up your [D] _
_ voice.
[G] Lift up your [Em] _
_ _ _ voice.

_ _ _ _ Come [G] on.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim.
_ They're [C] gathering round with all my friends.
_ [Am] We're older now and the light is dim.
[G] _ _
And you were only [Bm] [Em] just beginning. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] [D] children.
[Em] _ _
We have the answer to all your fears.
[C] It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear.
_ [Am] It's round about and it's somewhere here.
[G] _ _ _
Lost [Bm] amongst [G] our [Em] winning.
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
children.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Lift up your [D] _ voice.
_ Lift up your [Em] _ _
voice.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Children.
Rejoice.
_ _ _ [Em] _ Rejoice.
Cleaners have done their job on you.
[C] They helped you with manner and the crew.
_ [Am] _ They've hosed you down, your good is new.
_ [G] _ And they're lining up [D] to [Em] inspect you.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Oh, children.
[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 [D] do to [Em] _ protect you.
Oh, _ _ _ [C] children. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Lift up your _ _ [D] voice.
Lift up [Em] your _ _ _ _ _ voice.
_ [C] Children. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ Rejoice. _ _
[Em] Rejoice.
They did slay the drunken in law.
[G] The train that goes to the [C] kingdom. _
_ [A] We're happy, ma, we're having fun.
[G] The train ain't even [D] here at the [Em] _ station.
Can't you stay away from me?
[C] I once was blind, but now I see.
[A] I have you left to see for me.
[G] Is that such a stretch of the _ _ [Em] imagination?
_ Can't you stay away from me?
[C] It's hell I've been changed, but now I'm free.
[Am] _
I'm hanging in there.
Don't you see?
[G] This process [D] of _ elimination.
[Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] The train that goes to the kingdom.
_ [A] We're happy, ma, we're having fun.
[G] Beyond my wildest [F#m] age _ [Em] _ expectation. _
_ _ _ [C] The train that goes to the kingdom.
[Am] _ We're happy, ma. _
