When i was young, it seemed life was so wonderful
 E                      D         Eb°
a miracle, oh is was beautiful, magical.

And all birds in the trees, weel they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me.
                F#m                     D7M          C#m7
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
 E         D            Eb°
logical, responsible, practical.
         F#m7                            D7M        C#m7
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
 E          D           Eb°
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep
                       D7M/A
the questions run too deep
                    G D/F# Em Em/D
for such a simple man
            A                                  A5+
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
                     D7M/A
i know it sounds absurd
                          G D/F# Em Em/D (2x)
but please tell me who i am

I say now watch what you or they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, a fanatical, criminal
               F#m                        D7M
Won't you sign up your name; we'd like to feel you're
 C#m7           E             D            Ebº
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

But at night, when all the world's asleep,
                       D7M/A
the questions run too deep
                    G D/F# Em Em/D
for such a simple man
            A                                 A5+
Won't you please, please tel me what we've learned
