...SAVE THE CHILDREN... by Marvin Gaye
-----------------------...............

*from 'What's Going On' (1971)*


Intro:

Am
I just want to ask a question;

Who really cares?
E7
To save a world in de-spair?
Dm E7
Who really cares?

Verse 1:

Bm
There'll come a time,
Am
When the world won't be singin',
Bm
Flowers won't grow,
Dm
Bells won't be ringin';
Gm
Who really cares?
Dm
Who's willing to try,
Am Fm6
To save a world,
Dm G13
That's destined to die?

Verse 2:

Bm
When I look at the world,
Am
It fills me with sorrow,
Bm
Little children today,
Dm
Are really gonna suffer tomorrow.
Gm
Oh what a shame,
Dm
Such a bad way to live,
Am Fm6
All who is to blame,
Dm G13
We can't stop livin'.

Chorus 1:

Bm
Live, live for life,
C#m
But let live everybody,
Adim
Live life for the children,
Dm
Oh, for the children.
G7
You see, let's save the children,
Let's save all the children.
Cmaj7
Save the babies,
Dm
Save the babies.
If you wanna love, you got to,
Cmaj7
Save the babies,
Dm
You will save the babies,
G7
All of the children.

Bridge 1:

Dm
But...who really cares?
Em
Who's willing to try?
E7
Yes, to save a world,
Am E7
Yeah, save our sweet world.
Am
Save a world,
Dm G7
That is destined to die.

Coda:

Em Dm
Oh...oh..
La, la, la,
La, la, la, la.
Em
Oh...oh,
Dm
Dig it everybody.
