Year: 1976 Album: Blue Moves Writers: Elton John, Bernie Taupin & Davey Johnstone Intro: C Bm C - Bm - A {play twice} A A/E A D/A A Torn from their families mothers go hungry- C#m F#m Bm7 E7-D/E E7 to feed their children - but children go hungry. A A/E A D/A A There's so many big men, they're out making millions. C#m F#m Bm7 E7-D/E E7 C Bm When poverty's profits - just blame the chil - dren. CHORUS: F#m A7 If there's a God in heaven what's he waiting for? Bm F#m D E7 If He can't hear the children then he must see the war. F#m A7 But it seems to me that he leads his lambs - C Bm C Bm A {replay intro} to the slaughter house and not the promised land. A A/E A D/A A Dying for causes they don't understand. C#m F#m Bm7 E7-D/E E7 We've been taking their futures right out of their hands. A A/E A D/A A They need the handouts to hold back the tears. C#m F#m Bm7 E7-D/E E7 There's so many crying but so few that hear. {Repeat Chorus} F#m A7 F#m E7 If there's a God in heaven - well, what's he waiting for?
