[D] [A]
[D]
[Em] [A] [D]
When [G] I was young [D] and they packed me off [F#] to school
[G] And they taught me [D] how not to play the [A] game
I [Bm] [D]
didn't [G] mind [D] if they groomed me [F#] for success
[G] Or if they said [D] that I was just a [A] fool
So [D] I left there in [G] the morning
[D] With that guard tucked underneath [F#] my arm
[G] The half-assed smiles [D]
and the book of [A] rules
[C#] [D] And I asked this guard a [G] question
[D] And by way of firm [F#] reply
He said, [G] I'm not the kind you [D]
have to wind up on [E] [A]
Sundays
So [B] [D] to my old [A] headmaster
[D] and to anyone [F#] who cares
[G] Before I'm through, [D]
I'd [A] like to say my prayers
[B] I [D]
don't [Em] believe you, you [D] have the whole damn thing [F#] all wrong
[G] I'm not the kind [D] you have to wind up on [A] Sundays
Well, [G] you can next
[A] communicate with me
[D] On my way to [Bm] Sunday school
And [G] have all the [A] bishops [B] harmonize these lines
[D] [E] [F#m]
[Bm] [E] [F#m]
[D] [B] [A] [B] [E]
[D] [A] [B] [E]
[D] [E] [B] How'd you dare to tell me that I'm a father's son
[G] When that was [D] just an accident [F#] at first
[B] I'd rather look around me than pose a better son
[G] Cause that's the [D] honest measure [F#] of my worth
In [G] your [A] promenade of glory, [D] you're a poor old man to me
[G] As you lick the boots [A] of death born [B] out of fear
[E] [D] Oh, [B]
when [A] I [B] was young, they packed me up with school
[G] And taught me [D] how not to [F#] play the game
[B] I didn't mind if the groom's been forced to step
[G] Or if they [D] said that I was [F#] just a fool
[G] So I left there [A] in the morning [D] with that guard under my [G] arm
The half-assed [A] smile and the [B] moon grew
Oh, well, [G] you can next [A]
communicate with me
[D] On my way to Sunday school
[G] And have all the bishops [A] [B] harmonize these lines

[D] [G] don't believe you
