Suffer the children    (video)    (intro)    (midi)

 

    G - G7 - C - G

 

    G                           - G7

1.     It's a sad affair,           when there's no one there,

C                   G

    he calls out in the night.

G                              - G7

    And it's so unfair,           at least it seems that way,

C                                       G

    when you gave him his life.

 

        F

And all this time he's been getting you down,

                      C

you ought to pick him up when there's no one around,

              F                           C

and convince him, oh, just talk to him,

                     F

‘Cause he knows in his heart, you won't be home soon,

                    C

and he's an only child in an only room,

                    F                                          C

and he's dependent on you, oh, he's dependent on you.

 

    G                                           - G7

2.      And it seems so strange,         that at the end of the day,

C                                         G

    making love can be so good.

G                                  - G7

    But the pain of birth,         oh, what is it worth,

C                                                               G

    when it don't turn out the way that it should.
