(G) Play, we want to (C)play, we want to play all (G)day,
We (Em)want to have fun, jump a(C)round and run,
(Am)And we want to glide down the (D)long, long slide!
(G)Come on, look, pa, they’ve got a (Em)new seesaw,
And on the (Am)spring rider horse I’ll (D)rock back and forth,
I (G)hide behind a tree, I know you (Em)can’t see me,
I’ll do my (Am)jumping routine on the (D)trampoline!
We’ll (E)have a lot of fun in the (Am)sun,
We’ll (D)fool around on the (G)muddy ground,
The (E)playground does not (Am)mean a thing,
(D)If it hasn’t (G)got a good swing,
We’ll (C)swing so high, we can (D)touch the sky,
All the (C)birds can’t believe we (D)swing so high!
(G) Play, we want to (C)play, we want to play all (G)day,
We (Em)want to have fun, jump a(C)round and run,
And we (Am)want to glide down the (D)long, long slide!
(G)Every playground has a (Em)merry-go-round,
Be (Am)careful, don’t fall off, when it (D)whizzes around!
And, (G)as we had planned, we built (Em)castle made of sand,
Just (Am)me and a friend, (D)ain’t life grand?
We’ll (E)have a lot of fun in the (Am)sun,
We’ll (D)fool around on the (G)muddy ground,
The (E)playground does not (Am)mean a thing,
(D)If it hasn’t (G)got a good swing,
We’ll (C)swing so high, we can (D)touch the sky,
All the (C)birds can’t believe that we (D)swing so high!
(G) Play, we want to (C)play, we want to play all (G)day,
We (Em)want to have fun, jump a(C)round and run,
And we (Am)want to glide down the (D)long, long slide!
(G) Play, we want to (C)play, we want to play all (G)day,
We (Em)want to have fun, jump a(C)round and run,
And we (Am)want to glide down the (D)long, long slide!
(G) Play, we want to (C)play, we want to play all (G)day,
(C)Hear what I say, (D7) we want to (G)play!
We want to play all day!

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
