Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes
G C G C
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
G C G C
Switch on summer from a slot machine
G C G C
Yes, get what you want to if you want 'cos you can get anything
Am D Am D
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
Am D G C G C G C G C
But tell me, where do the children play?
G C G C
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
G C G C
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas
G C G C
And you make them long, and you make them tough
F C F C
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off
Am D Am D
I know we've come a long way, we're changing day to day
Am D G C G C G C G C
But tell me, where do the children play?
G C G C
When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air
G C
Will you keep on building higher
G C
'til there's no more room up there?
F C F C
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
F C F C
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
Am D
I know we've come a long way
Am D
We're changing day to day--hey
Am D G C G C
But tell me, where do the children play?
G C G C
Do doot do, do de do doot do
G C G G
Do de do doot do do de do do

Cat Stevens began performing his songs in London coffee houses and pubs. At first he tried forming a band, but realised he preferred performing solo. Thinking his birth name might be difficult to remember, he chose the stage name Cat Stevens, in part because a girlfriend said he had eyes like a cat, but mainly because \"I couldn't imagine anyone going to the record store and asking for 'that Steven Demetre Georgiou album'. And in England, and I was sure in America, they loved animals.\"
In 1966, at age 18, he was heard by manager/producer Mike Hurst, formerly of British vocal group the Springfields. Hurst arranged for him to record a demo and helped him get a record deal. Stevens's first singles were hits: \"I Love My Dog\" reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart; and \"Matthew and Son\", the title song from his debut album, reached number 2 in the UK.[35] \"I'm Gonna Get Me a Gun\" was his second UK top 10 single, reaching number 6, and the album Matthew and Son reached number 7 on the UK Albums Chart.[36] The original version of the Tremeloes' hit \"Here Comes My Baby\" was written and recorded by Stevens.
