  			Cm                                G#           Gm 
When I was young, it seemed that llfe was so wonderful, 
   Bb                 G#           
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. 
             Cm                                   G#         Gm 
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, 
     Bb              G#           
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me. 

             Cm                         G#           Gm
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible, 
Bb              G#          
logical, oh, responsible practical. 
           Cm                           G#          Gm 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, 
    Bb              G#             
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical. 

          Eb                           Eb7+ 
There are times when all the world's asleep, 
                       Eb7                   C#  Fm  Bbm  G# 
the questions run too deep for such a simple man 
           Eb                                 Eb7+ 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? 
                  Eb7                        C#  Fm  Bbm  G# 
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.

I said, now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, 
   Bb           G#        
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal. 
              Cm                             G#              Gm 
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, 
   Bb                 G#             
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!
