For The Children by John Mellencamp *tuned half step down* E E verse#1 E F# I wish I could give you an answer E F# As to when life really begins E F# Wish I could tell you where we went E F# When our days here come to an end D A Wish I could see the future D A The same way I see the past E F# I wish I could draw a conclusion E F# F# Why nothing here seems to last chorus B E I can't even make a guess B E Or an uneducated thought B E All I can do here is my best D F# D F# D E And be thankful for what we've got aahh aahh verse#2 Why do so many suffer Oppressed to the end of time Why does freedom move so slowly Unable to speak its mind Some say it's a circle Others think we live on a wing Why are promises broken And some think life don't mean a thing chorus verse#3 I hope you can be a child of life With big dreams for everyone And know that dying's as natural as birth And our troubles here, they don't last long I have worried about many things Most of which did not come to pass I hope you find someone to give you love And that your love will last Chorus tabbed by db www.TAB6.com
