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

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


Intro:

Am9                            E7b9
 I just want to ask a question; who really cares?
Dm7                    E7b9              Dm7    G7b9
 To save a world in de-spair? Who really cares?

Verse 1:

Em9                             Dm13
 There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin',
Em9                  Dm13
 Flowers won't grow; bells won't be ringin'.
Cm7                                 Bbmaj7
 Who really cares? Who's willing to try,
Am9        E7b9          Dm13        G7b9
 To save a world, that's destined to die?

Verse 2:

       Em9               Dm13
When I look at the world, it fills me with sorrow,
Em9                    Dm13
 Little children today, are really gonna suffer tomorrow.
Cm7               Bbmaj7
 Oh, what a shame, such a bad way to live;
    Am9       E7b9        Dm13          G7b9
Oh, who is to blame, when we can't stop livin'?

Chorus 1:

Em9                  Amaj7
 Live, live for life, but let live, everybody,
A7b9               Dm9
 Live life for the children, oh, for the children.
         G13
You see, let's save the children, let's save all the children.
Cmaj7            Am7       Dm9    G13
 Save the babies, save the babies.
                                       Cmaj7  Am7
If you wanna love, you got to save the babies,
                  Dm9                         G13
You will save the babies; all of the children.

Bridge 1:

      Dm7               C7  Fmaj7
But... who really cares?      Who's willing to try?
Am9      E7b9          Am9   E7b9
 Yes, to save a world, yeah, save our sweet world.
Am9           E7b9     Dm9         G7b9
 Save a world, that is destined to die.

Coda:

Em7    Dm7
 Oh... oh... la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Em7    Dm7
 Oh... oh... dig it everybody.
