Intro:
G
Verse 1:
C D G G7
Hear the children cryin',
Am G
But I know they cry not in vain.
C D G G7
Now the times are changin',
Am G
Love has come to bloom a-gain.
Bridge 1:
F C G
Smelling the air when Spring comes by raindrops,
F C G
Reminds us of youthful days.
F C G
But now it's not rain, that water the cane crops,
F
But the sweat from man's brow,
Fm
The substance from our spine.
We gotta keep on living, living on borrowed time.
Chorus 1:
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
As they go singing by and by.
C Am
(Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm G
Singing in the morning.
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
Let them sing, don't let them cry.
Verse 2:

C D G G7
Over rocks and mountains,
Am G
The sheep are scattered all a-round.
C D G G7
Over hills and valleys,
Am G
They are everywhere to be found.
Bridge 2:
F C G
But though we bear our burdens now,
F C G
All af-flictions got to end, somehow.
F C G
From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough,
F Fm
Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony?
We like to be free, like birds in a tree.
Chorus 2:
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
Yes, you can hear the children singing.
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
As they go singing by and by.
C Am
(Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm G
Singing in the morning.
C Am
(Hallelujah time),
Dm G
Let them sing, never let them cry.
C Am
(Hallelujah time), ooh, hallelujah,
Dm G
Singing in the morning...
(Fade)
