     F                          C# G#
A revolving wheel of metal chairs
 F                      C# G# C# G#
Hung on chains, squealing
 F                             C# G# C# G#
Four little children flying out
    F                      C# G# C# G#
A blind man sings in Arabic

Chorus:
D#                         A#m
Hey little children don’t disappear
                 F# G#
(I heard it was 28,000)
D#             A#m
Lost upon a revolving wheel
                 F# G#
(I heard it was 28,000)

Now you see them, now you don’t
Children vanish ‘hind vehicle
Now you see them, now you don’t
Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull

Chorus:
Hey little children don’t disappear
(I heard it was 28,000)
All that’s left after a year
(I heard it was 28,000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28,000)

A tableau of the missing
Tied to the government building
8,000 sun-bleached photographs
Faded with the roses

Chorus:
Hey little children don’t disappear
(I heard it was 28,000)
Lost upon a revolving wheel
(I heard it was 28,000)
All that’s left after a year
(I heard it was 28,000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28,000)

                F
And watch them fade out
               A#m     D#
And watch them fade out
                C#
And watch them fade out
                F
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade...
