E5                   G5
I hear, only what I want to hear
       C5
But, I have to believe in something
 A5
Have to believe in just one thing
     D5                            G5        B5
I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
F5                        C5       E5
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
D5                           G5        B5
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
 F5                               C5            E5
There's something missing when I need your rules

E5                                  G5
Well hey there, You tell me you're a holy man
        C5
But, although I'm just a beginner
 A5
I don't see you as a winner
      D5                            G5       B5
I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
F5                        C5       E5
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
D5                             G5       B5
If I could tell you what you need to know
F5                          C5           E5
If I could help you to get on with the show

( G5  B5  C5  C5  B5 )

A5                            G5          B5
Reverend Ebenezer, there's a storm in my head
          B5        C5               D5
Makes me hear what you said, just was it true?
 D5        D5
So, what have I to do?
D5                   D5
Well, what has he to do?
D5                     Eb5  F5   G5
 Oh, what is there to do?
Eb5 F5   G5     Eb5   F5
Oh      oh oh

( Eb5  F5  Eb5  F5  G5 )

E5                         G5
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
       C5
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
A5
Have you a son to deliver
      D5                            G5        B5
I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
F5                         C5       E5
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
D5                           G5        B5
You tell the children what they need to know
F5                              C5       E5
But will they listen when it's time to go

    D5                        G5        B5
Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all wound up
F5                         C5     E5
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
 D5                         G5        B5
Can someone tell me what I need to know
F5                          C5           E5
Can someone help me to get on with the show

( Eb5  E5  C#5 )
