(repeat 1st verse music with 2nd verse lyrics then chorus and thats it)

lyrics:

1st verse

little child dry your cryin eyes

how can I explain the fear you feel inside

cuz you were born into this evil world

where man is killing man and no one knows just why

what have we become just look what we have done

all that weve destroyed you must build again

chorus

when the children cry let em know we tried

when the children sing and the new world begins

2nd verse

little child you must show the way

for a better day for all the young

cuz you were born for the world to see

that we all can live with love and peace

no more presidents and all the wars will end

one united world under god

chorus

this isnt exactly how they play it but its pretty close

its easy to play an sing and sounds awesome on a 12 string

not sure if the chords are named right but the tab shows notes

also note on the intro and the chorus the G adds 3rd fret on B string

this is my first tab so please be easy on me LOL
