D5                                Bb5           A5 
When I was young, it seemed that llfe was so wonderful, 
   C5                 Bb5          
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. 
             D5                                   Bb5         A5 
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, 
     C5              Bb5           
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me. 

             D5                         Bb5           A5
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible, 
C5              Bb5          
logical, oh, responsible practical. 
           D5                           Bb5         A5 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, 
    C5             Bb5             
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical. 

          F5                            D5
There are times when all the world's asleep, 
 D5                     Bb5                     Eb5 
the questions run too deep for such a simple man 
          F5                                 D5 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? 
 D5               Bb5                          Eb5
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am. 

 D5                              Bb5             A5              
Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, 
  C5          Bb5           
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal. 
              D5                               Bb5              A5 
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, 
   C5               Bb5            
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable! 

   F5                                  D5
There are times, when all the world's asleep, 
                      Bb5                     Eb5
the questions run too deep for such a simple man 
          F5                                  D5
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? 
                  Bb5                          Eb5 
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
