Elton John - If There's A God In Heaven (What's He Waiting For?): chords

A                          D          A
Torn from their families, mothers go hungry
C#m            F#m           Bm7         E7
To feed their children, but children go hungry
         A                        D          A
There's so many big men, they're out making millions
     C#m       F#m            Bm7       E7     C Bm
When poverty's profits, just blame the children

Chorus:
             F#m                      A7
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for?
       Bm             F#m               D            E7
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war
        F#m                  A7
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs
         C        Bm                C  Bm    A  C Bm C Bm A
To the slaughter house and not the promised land

Dying for causes
They don't understand
We've been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
There's so many crying
But so few that hear

Chorus - x2

             F#m          A7
If there's a God in heaven.
                F#m         E7
Well, what's he waiting for?

             F#m          A7 C Bm
If there's a God in heaven.
           C  Bm   A
What's he waiting for? - x4
