         A                   D-------------------------------------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-------------2-2-2-2-2-2---------2-2-2-2-2-2-------------2-2-2-2-2-2--0------0-0-0-0-0-0-----2-4-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----4-2-0-----------------------------------------------------------

Verse

A                  D
Surrender into the night
A                D
Silently take my hand
E                  D        A
Nobody knows whats inside us
D            E
Nobody under-stands

     A                D
They handed us down a dream
   A                   D
To live in this lonely town
    E                D    A
But nobody hears the music
D                  E
Only the echo of a hollow sound

Chorus

E            D     A   E
Where do the child-ren go
            D      A         D       E
Between the bright night and darkest day
             D     A   E
Where do the child-ren go
               D      A          E          A
And who's that deadly piper that leads them away

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

Together we make our way
Passengers on a train
Whisper a secret forever
Promises in the rain

We're leaving it all behind
While castles are falling down
We're going where no one can find us
And if there's a heaven we'll find it somehow

Melodica Solo (roughly transcribed for guitar)
