TITLE: You've Got to Be Carefully Taught
Lyrics and Chords


[South Pacific]

[ G+ =  ; C#dim7 =  ]

You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

/ G - D9 - / / / G Am7 G - / 

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught

/ Cmaj7 G+ Cmaj7 G+ / Cmaj7 G+ Cmaj7 C#dim7 /
   / D7sus4 - D7 - / G G7 Cmaj7 C#dim7 / D7sus4 - G - /
