Gmaj7 Em7
    D6        G6  D6 G6 Gmaj7
The boy cried out
D6           Em7   F#m7 Em7
Gaily on the ground
D6     G6  Gmaj7 D6 G6 Gmaj7
At the joy
   D6               Em7 F#m7 Em7
of something he had found

Chorus:
         Am(V)   G(III)    F#m      G(III) C
     Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
     Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
     Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
     D G/D Gm/D

    D                G/D        Gm/D
The days are getting warmer now
    D                  G/D        Gm/D  Cmaj9 D
The nights are getting shorter now
D                   Cmaj9    D                    Cmaj9
And you know we can make it 'cause you know we're alive
D                    Cmaj9    D                Cmaj9    Gmaj7 Em7
But we don't have to take it, any way we'll survive

   D6     G6  D6 G6 Gmaj7
If I were you
D6                 Em7   F#m7 Em7
I'd throw it far away
       D6       G6  D6 G6 Gmaj7
But if you were me
D6                     Em7   F#m7 Em7
You'd tell me I should stay[repeat chorus]

Em9    A7     Em9                 A9
Again. Again. Again and again and again.
Em9                  A7
Again, and again and again
Em9    A7     Em7
Again, again, again
