Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  mother shelter
A  mother is a shelterer
Oh  mother shelter
Mother  shel-ter  us
 From the wild  winds howling
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh  (x4)
Oh  father shepherd
A  father is a shepherder
Oh  father shepherd
Father  shep-herd  us
 From the wild  wolves howling
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh  (x4)
Your  cities are a wilderland
Look  upon your children
Your  cities are a wilderland
Look  upon your, look upon
Your  highways are a wilderland
Look  upon your children
Your  highways are a wilderland
Look  upon your, look upon
Look  upon your children
Wandering  in the wilderland
Look  upon your children
Wandering  in the woods
 Singing
 Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh-oooh  (x9)
 This song moves beautifully straight into the second song
 off the album, the title track "Young Man in America".
 Still trying to figure out the tabs for the whole song,
 so it will hopefully follow.
 Hope this is accurate and you enjoy :)
