Lyrics and Chords


[ Abdim7 = xx0101 ]

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well, they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully, watching me

/ Bm - / G F# - / A - G Abdim7 - / :

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am

/ D - - - Bm7 - / - - G - / - - C Em Am Em /

I said, now, watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
Oh, tick, tick, tick, yeah

But 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
     Oh, won't you tell me, can you tell me what
I know it sounds absurd
     Oh, can you hear me, I know it sounds
But please tell me who I am
     Oh won't you help me and tell me who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am
