Pete Seeger - What did you learn in school today

^GWhat did you learn in school today, dear little boy of ^D7mine, G D7 G-G7 What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?

I ^Clearned that Washington ^Gnever told a lie, I ^Clearned that soldiers ^Gseldom die. I ^Clearned that every^Gbody's free, ^CThat's what the teacher ^Gsaid to me. And ^Gthat's what I learned in school today, ^D7that's what I learned in ^Gschool.

I ^Clearned that policemen ^Gare my friends, I ^Clearned that justice ^Gnever ends. I ^Clearned that murderers ^Gdie for their crimes, ^CEven if we make a mis^Gtake sometimes. And ^Gthat's what I learned in school today, ^D7that's what I learned in ^Gschool.

I ^Clearned that wars are ^Gnot so bad, I ^Clearned of the great ones ^Gwe have had. We ^Cfought in Germany and in ^GFrance, And ^Csomeday I might get my ^Gchance. And ^Gthat's what I learned in school today, ^D7that's what I learned in ^Gschool.

I ^Clearned our government must be ^Gstrong, It's ^Calways right and never ^Gwrong. Our ^Cleaders are the finest ^Gmen, And ^Cso we elect them a^Ggain and again. And ^Gthat's what I learned in school today, ^D7that's what I learned in ^Gschool.
