Children On Parade — Colin Hay
Chords and lyrics for Children On Parade by Colin Hay (key of G).
Verse 1
Taken from the Going Somewhere album. This song is alot more complicated on
the album
than just chord strumming, but its easier to just give the basic chords to
work around.
If you're just want to play the chords, then its probably better to play
them as open
chords rather as bar ones.
C#m - 9 11 11 9 9 9 or X46654
Verse
[Bm]All the girls and boys have gone [G]away
[Bm]They never really had much to [G]say
[Bm]They took off all their clothes and their [G]shoes
[Bm]Politely asked to be [G]excused
Chorus
D C#m C C#(strum this once on the change)
They're the children on parade
[D]They have [C#m]secrets that they[C] share[C#]
[D]They're the [C#m]children on [C]parade
[G]And nobody knows, nobody knows
And then back to the verse. Like I said if you listen to the album version
its got alot
of slides and things on it, not just the basic chords, but they mostly work
around the
bar chords so start from there. Also he doesn't play the high notes on the
song, so stick
mainly to the low strings. Or just play the open chords if you'd rather.
Comments welcome.
