Em     D       G           D
Little ones to him don't belong
C      G           D        A
Little ones, where have you gone?
Em       D        G            D
Was it a war that stilled your voice?
C           G           D        A
Yes, but it wasn't your mother's choice


[Verse 2]
Em            D          G       D
Where was the preacher's healing hand 
     C        G     D         A
When children died across the land?
Em        D         G      D
Was it in search of saving life?
    C          G        D            A
No, death came from his voice like a knife


[Chorus]
       C          D          Em        D
It's a dangerous, dangerous, dangerous place
C          D         G                 D
Dangerous, dangerous place to be these days


[Verse 3]
    Em          D     G      D
Now five months early you survive
     C          G           D           A
But 'til you're born, well, you're not alive
Em           D     G           D
Violence and war demand a sacrifice
    C        G   D   A
And children are the price


[Chorus]
       C          D          Em        D
It's a dangerous, dangerous, dangerous place
C          D         G                 D
Dangerous, dangerous place to be these days


[Verse 4]
Em     D       G           D
Little ones to him don't belong
C       G         D       A
You are weak, and we were wrong
    Em      D     G         D
Now we will never hear your voice
    C          G       D        A
And it was our own politician's choice
