xThis is the best version that I've found. Here are all the lyrics and the chords
are in exactly where they should be when sung.
[Verse]
G D Em Bm
little child, dry your cryin eyes
C G Em D
how can I explain the fear you feel inside
G D Em Bm
because you were born into this evil world
C G Em D
where man is killing man and no one knows just why
C Bm Em Bm
what have we become just look what we have done
C G Em D
all that we’ve destroyed you must build again
[Chorus]
Em Bm C G
when the children cry, let em know we tried
Em Bm C D
because when the children sing then the new world begins
[Verse 2]
G D Em Bm
little child you must show the way
C G Em D
To a better day for all the young
G D Em Bm
because you were born for all the world to see
C G Em D
that we all can live with love and peace
C Bm Em Bm
no more presidents and all the wars will end
C G Em D
one united world under god
[Chorus]
Em Bm C G
when the children cry, let em know we tried
Em Bm C D
because when the children sing then the new world begins
[Solo]
G D Em Bm C G Em D
G D Em Bm C G Em D
[Bridge]
C Bm Em Bm
what have we become just look what we have done
C G Em D
all that we’ve destroyed you must build again
C Bm Em Bm
no more presidents and all the wars will end
C G Em D
one united world under god
[Chorus]
Em Bm C G
when the children cry, let em know we tried
Em Bm C D
when the children fight, let em know it ain’t right
Em Bm C G
when the children pray, let em know the way
Em Bm C D
because when the children sing, then the new world begins
