CmWhen I was young, it seemed that G#maj7life was so Gm7wonderful,
A# Fm7/G# F7/A
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the Cmbirds in the trees, well they'd be G#maj7singing so Gm7happily,
A# Fm7/G# Am7b5
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they Cmsend me away to teach me G#maj7how to be Gm7sensible,
A# Fm7/G# F7/A
logical, responsible, practical.
And they sCmhowed me a world where I could G#maj7be so depeGm7ndable,
A# Fm7/G# Am7b5
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
Eb Am7b5/Eb
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too G#maj7deep
C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#
for such a simple man.
Eb Am7b5/Eb
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds G#maj7absurd
C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#
but please tell me who I am.
Repeat same sequence of chords on the following verse
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
(C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#) x 3
but please tell me who I am.
