            O Children by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
From The Album Lyre of Orpheus


[Intro]
| Em      | C       | Am      | G     D |

[Verse]
Em
   Pass me that lovely little gun
C
   My dear, my darling one
Am
   The cleaners are coming, one by one
G                       D       Em
   You don't even wanna let them start

[Interlude]
|(Em)     | C       | Am      | G     D |

[Verse]
Em
   They're knocking now upon your door
C
   They measure the room, they know the score
Am
   They're mopping up the butcher's floor
G                 D        Em
   Of your broken little hearts

[Chorus]
(Em)  C    Am   G       D
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children

[Verse]
Em
   Forgive us now for what we've done
C
   It started out as a bit of fun
Am
   Here, take these before we run away
G           D       Em
   The keys to the gulag

[Chorus]
(Em)     Cmaj7
    Oooo children
G                D                   Em
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Cmaj7
Children
G     D        Em
   Rejoice, rejoice

[Interlude]
|(Em)      | C       | Am      | G     D |

[Verse]
Em
   Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
C
   They're gathering round with all my friends
Am
   We're older now, the light is dim
G                   D         Em
   And you are only just beginning

[Chorus]
(Em)  C    Am   G       D
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children

[Verse]
Em
   We have the answer to all your fears
C
   It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
Am
   It's round about and it's somewhere here
G               D       Em
   Lost amongst our winnings

[Chorus]
(Em)     Cmaj7
    Oooo children
G                D                   Em
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Cmaj7
Children
G     D        Em
   Rejoice, rejoice

[Verse]
(Em)
The cleaners have done their job on you
C
   They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
Am
   They've hosed you down, you're good as new
G                        D   Em
   And they're lining up to inspect you

[Chorus]
(Em)  C    Am   G       D
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo children

[Verse]
Em
   Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
C
   He's found the answers that we lost
Am
   We're all weeping now, weeping because
G                             D    Em
   There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

[Chorus]
(Em)     Cmaj7
    Oooo children
G                D                   Em
   Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Cmaj7
Children
G     D        Em
   Rejoice, rejoice

[Verse]
(Em)
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Am
  We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
        G                     D     Em
And the train ain't even left the station

[Verse]
(Em)
Hey little train! Wait for me!
  C
I once was blind but now I see
Am
Have you left a seat for me?
        G                        D  Em
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?

[Verse]
(Em)
Hey little train! Wait for me!
      C
I was held in chains but now I'm free
Am
  I'm hanging in there, don't you see
        G             D  Em
In this process of elimination

[Verse]
(Em)
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom
     Am
We're, we're happy, Ma, we're having fun
       G                 D   Em
It's beyond my wildest expectation

[Verse]
(Em)
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
    C
The train that goes to the Kingdom
Am
 We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
    G                     D     Em
The train ain't even left the station

(Fade out)
