The Logical Song

Cm G#maj7 Gm7

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

A# Fm7/G# F7/A

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

Cm G#maj7 Gm7

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,

A# Fm7/G# Am7b5

joyfully, playfully watching me.

Cm G#maj7 Gm7

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,

A# Fm7/G# F7/A

logical, responsible, practical.

Cm G#maj7 Gm7

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,

A# Fm7/G# Am7b5

clinical, intellectual, cynical.

Eb Am7b5/Eb

There are times when all the world's asleep,

G#maj7

the questions run too deep

C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#

for such a simple man.

Eb Am7b5/Eb

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

G#maj7

I know it sounds absurd

C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#

but please tell me who I am.

Repeat same sequence of chords on the following verse

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,

liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

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

I know it sounds absurd

(C# C#maj7/C A#m7 A#m7/G#) x 3

but please tell me who I am.
