SUBMITTED BY: DAVID JONES
D (xx0232@1)          Em7             	D (xx0232@1)       	  F#When (244322@1)I was young and they packed me off to school
  G (320003@1)          		 D (xx0232@1)             Asus4 (x02230@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2 A (x02220@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A
And taught me how not to play the game,
D (xx0232@1)          Em7             D (xx0232@1)       	 F#I (244322@1)didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
G (320003@1)           	D (xx0232@1)             Asus4 (x02230@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2 A (x02220@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A
Or if they said that I was a fool.
D (xx0232@1)         	          Em7
So I left there in the morning
D (xx0232@1)               		F#With (244322@1)their God tucked underneath my arm --
G (320003@1)          	      D (xx0232@1)               Asus4 (x02230@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2 A (x02220@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
D (xx0232@1)          Em7
So I asked this God a question
D (xx0232@1)                    F#And (244322@1)by way of firm reply,
G (320003@1)           	            D (xx0232@1)            	 Asus4 (x02230@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2 AHe (x02220@1)said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
D (xx0232@1)          	Em7        	D (xx0232@1)       	  F#So (244322@1)to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
G (320003@1)           	            D (xx0232@1)            	 Asus4 (x02230@1)name="chord_x02200@1">Asus2 ABefore (x02220@1)I'm through I'd like to say my prayers --
D (xx0232@1)          Em7
I don't believe you:
D (xx0232@1)              		 F#You (244322@1)had the whole damn thing all wrong --

BmHow (x24432@1)do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
G (320003@1)            	D (xx0232@1)       	  F#When (244322@1)that was just an accident of Birth.
BmI'd (x24432@1)rather look around me -- compose a better song
G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)         		F#`cos (244322@1)that's the honest measure of my worth.
BmIn (x24432@1)your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
G (320003@1)             	D (xx0232@1)         		F#As (244322@1)you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
BmWhen (x24432@1)I was young and they packed me off to school
