Children's Song
(Live/1972 version)
[Intro]: G
G
All along the ocean floor
D G
Unseen fish are swimming
G
High among the mountains
D G
There are watchful eagles winging
C
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
G D
Peep from their disguise
G
While the household fly with the compound eye
D G C D G
Sees one man a hundred times!
G
When I was a kid in school
D G
I learned to read and write
G
And every morning in the hall
D G
we sang with all our might
C
School days are happy days but
G D *(Dsus4 D)
then you have to go
G
And it only takes two hours to put down
D G C D G
all you need to know
G
All along the ocean floor
D G *(Gsus4 G Gsus4 G)
Unseen fish are swimming
G
High among the mountains
D G *(Gsus4 G)
There are watchful eagles winging
C
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
G D
Peep from their disguise
G
While the household fly with the compound eye
D G C D G
Sees one man a hundred times
C G
I'm a boy and you're a girl,
D G
together we can save the world
C G
If at first we don't succeed,
D G
each generation sows its seed
C G
While there's life there's hope they say
D G
but death comes in the strangest ways
C G
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow but
D *(Dsus4 D) G
when it comes, you'll be the last to know
*(Gsus4 G) C D G
G *(Gsus4) G
All along the ocean floor
D G *(Gsus4 G)
Unseen fish are swimming
G
High among the mountains
D G *(Gsus4 G)
There are watchful eagles winging
C
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
G D
Peep from their disguise
G
While the household fly with the compound eye
D G C D G D G
Sees one man a hundred times
