[Intro]

E Am D C x2


[Verse 1]

    E                             C  G  C  G
A revolving wheel of metal chairs
E                                 C  G  C  G
Hung on chains, squealing
E                                 C  G  C  G
Four little children flying out
  E                               C  G  C  G
A blind man sings in Arabic


[Chorus]

D                         Am
Hey little children don’t disappear
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
D             Am
Lost upon a revolving wheel
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)


[Verse 2]

E                                 C  G  C  G
Now you see them, now you don’t
E                                 C  G  C  G
Children vanish ‘hind vehicle
E                                 C  G  C  G
Now you see them, now you don’t
E                                 C  G  C  G
Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull


[Chorus]

D                         Am
Hey little children don’t disappear
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
D               Am
All that’s left after a year
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
  D               Am
A faded face, the trace of an ear
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)


[Verse 3]

  E                               C  G  C  G
A tableau of the missing
E                                 C  G  C  G
Tied to the government building
  E                               C  G  C  G
8,000 sun-bleached photographs
E                                 C  G  C  G
Faded with the roses


[Chorus]

D                         Am
Hey little children don’t disappear
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
D             Am
Lost upon a revolving wheel
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
D               Am
All that’s left after a year
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)
  D               Am
A faded face, the trace of an ear
   C               G
(I heard it was 28,000)


[Outro]

E Am D C
               E
And watch them fade out
               Am     D
And watch them fade out
               C
And watch them fade out
               E
And watch them fade out...
