Gmaj7 Em7
(Intro)

    D6        G6  D6  G6
The boy cried out
D6           Em7  F#m7  Em7
Gaily on the ground
D6     G6  D6  G6
At the joy
   D6               Em7  F#m7  Em7
Of something he had found

    Am      G         F#m      G     C
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together
    Am      G         F#m      G     C
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together
    Am      G         F#m      G     C               D  G  Gm
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together

    D                G          Gm
The days are getting warmer now
    D                  G           Gm  Cmaj9  D
The nights are getting shorter now
                    Cmaj9   D                        Cmaj9  D
And you know we can make it   'cause you know we're alive
                     Cmaj9    D                  Cmaj9
But we don't have to take it,   any way we'll survive

Gmaj7  Em7

   D6     G6  D6  G6
If I were you
    D6            Em7  F#m7  Em7
I'd throw it far away
       D6       G6  D6  G6
But if you were me
      D6               Em7  F#m7  Em7
You'd tell me I should stay

    Am      G         F#m      G     C
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together
    Am      G         F#m      G     C
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together
    Am      G         F#m      G     C                Em9
Aw, come on children, get your heads   back together again

 A7     Em9                 A7
Again, again and again and again
 Em9                  A7
Again, and again and again
 Em9    A7     Em7
Again, again, again
