Oh, it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That it's (G)not about the war,
That it's (Cj7)not about the (C)winning,
That it's (G)not about the score.
Oh, it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That it's (G)not about the rings
That we (D)put upon the fingers
Of the (Em)man who would be (C)king. (C5) (G) (hold)

And it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That it's (G)not about the gold,
That it's (Cj7)not about the (C)money,
(G)Things that are bought and sold.
Oh, it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That (G)these don't mean a thing,
Just like the (D)rings upon the fingers
Of the (Em)man who would be (C)king. (C5) (G) (hold)

And it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That it's (G)not about the plan
To (Cj7)see who is the (C)richest
Or the (G)baddest in the land.
Oh, it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That the (G)birds upon the wing,
They would (D)never give their power
To the (Em)man who would be (C)king,
They'd (D)never give their power
To the (Em)man who would be (C)king. (G)
(banjo solo)
(Cj7) (C5) (G) (Cj7) (C5) (G)

Don't you real(D)ize
When you see the (G)clues
Right before your (D)eyes
On the evening (G)news?
Don't you real(D)ize
That the children (Em)know,
What the children (C)see
Is where the children (D)go? (hold)

And it's (Cj7)time to tell the (C)children
That it (G)is about the heart,
That it (Cj7)is about the (C)people
Of this (G)world we are a part,
That it (Cj7)is about for(C)giving
(G)Those who (G/F#)stole the (Em)rings
To (D)put upon the fingers
Of the (Em)man who would be (C)king,
To (D)put upon the fingers
Of the (Em)man who would be (C)king. (G)
(banjo solo)
