Capo first fret
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
. A Em7/G E7/G#
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
. A Em7/G G#m7-5
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
. A Em7/G E7/G#
Logical, responsible, practical.
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
. A Em7/G G#m7-5
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
. D G#m7-5/D
There are times when all the world’s asleep,
. Gmaj7
The questions run too deep
. C Cmaj7/B Am7 Am7/G
For such a simple man.
. D G#m7-5/D
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
. Gmaj7
I know it sounds absurd
. C Cmaj7/B Am7 Am7/G
But please tell me who I am.
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,
. A Em7/G E7/G#
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
. Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable
. A Em7/G E7/G#
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man.

Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
