 There were children crying and colours flying

The loading had begun

 Flying mother nature's silver seed
      C               G
 To a new home in the sun

 To a new home

Great tab - thank you. Can also play the A as a bar chord on the fifth fret (and pick up the b note on the 7th fret) on “There was a “ before moving down to the Bm on “fanfare” for a nice effect.
