Intro: (D)-(A)-(G)- (D)-(A)-(G)

(D)I’m just a (A) young, young child (or boy, girl)

In (G) this (A7) big, big (D) world

And I don’t know very (A) much it’s true

I’m not a (G) grown-(A7) up like (D) you

But there’s (Bm) one thing

I (F#m) don’t have to (G) think (D) about much

(G) Something I (A) know for (D) sure

Is that (Bm) we (F#m) all should (G) live in (D) love

And (G) not have (A)so much (D) war

CHORUS:

‘Cause we need more (A) love (G)

For all the children (D)

So they (A) won’t have to (G) be so afraid (D)

We need more (A) love (G)

For all the (D) children

So they (A) won’t have to (G) cry

When they (D) lay in their (A) beds

We need more love (G)(A)

For all the (D) children

(D) I’m just a (A) young, young child (or boy, girl)

In (G) this (A7) big, big (D) world

And if you (D) ask me

What I’d (A) like to wish for

(G)(A) most of (D) all

It’s that (Bm) all those (F#m) children (G)I see on (D)TV

(G) Almost (A) every (D) night

Would have (Bm) all the (F#m) love that I (G) have (D) here

Not (G) live where (A) people (D) fight

REPEAT CHORUS

So I’ll (D) say a little (A) prayer now

As I (G) kneel (A7) by my (D) bed

Before I lay down (A) on my pillow

To (G)rest (A7) my (D) head

I will (Bm) say a (F#m) prayer for all (G) those (D) children

(G)I kno-(A7)w are (D) sad

For the (Bm)ones who (F#m) feel (G) afraid or (D)hungry

That (G)God will (A) hear their (D) prayers
