Bm When I was young, it seemed that
Gmaj7 life was so F#m wonderful,
a A miracle, oh it was G beautiful, E7 magical
And all the Bm birds in the trees, well they’d be
Gmaj7 singing so F#m happily,
Oh A joyfully, G playfully E7 watching me

But then they Bm send me away to teach me
Gmaj7 how to be F#m sensible,
A logical, oh res-G ponsible, E7 practical
And they Bm showed me a world where I could
Gmaj7 be so de-F#m pendable,
Oh A clinical, oh inte-G llectual, E7 cynical

There are D times when all the world’s as-D5- leep
the questions run too D11 deep
for such a simple C man C/B Am7 Am7/G
Won’t you D please, please tell me what we’ve D5- learned
I know it sounds ab-D11 surd
but please tell me who I C am C/B Am7 Am7/G
C C/B Am7 Am7/G

I said, Bm now watch what you say
or they’ll be Gmaj7 calling you a F#m radical
A liberal, oh fa-G natical, E7 criminal
Won’t you Bm sign up your name
we’d like to Gmaj7 feel you’re ac-F#m ceptable
A respectable, oh pre-G sentable, a E7 vegetable
Oh, take it take it yeah

Solo Bm Gmaj7 F#m A G E7 x 2

But at D night, when all the world’s D5- asleep
the questions run so D11 deep
for such a simple C man C/B Am7 Am7/G
Won’t you D please, please tell me what we’ve D5- learned
I know it sounds ab-D11 surd
but please tell me who I C am C/B Am7 Am7/G
who I C am C/B Am7 Am7/G
who I C am C/B Am7 Am7/G
who I C am C/B Am7 Am7/G
