 F            Am             Dm            A# Am Gm
Man made the buildings that reach for the sky

And man made the motorcar and learned how to

me

machines

Chorus:
          F      A#      C
No, he's got no right at all
     F     A#           C
Cos we are all God's children
          F      A#        C

I wanna go back the way the good Lord made me
A#                  Am
Same lungs that he gave me to breathe with
 Gm                      C
Same eyes he gave me to see with

Oh, the rich man, the poor man,
the saint and the sinner
The wise man, the simpleton,
the loser and the winner
We are all the same to Him
Stripped of our clothes and all the things we own

The day that we are born
We are all God's children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made

Oh, the good lord made us all
And we are all his children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good
lord made us all
Yeah, we gotta go back the way the good
lord made us all
