[A]
[D] [Em] [A]
[D] When [G] I was young and [D] they packed me off to [F#]
school [G] and they taught [D] me how not to play the [A] game.
[Bm] [D] I didn't [G] mind [D] if they groomed me for [F#] success [G] or if they said [D] that I was just [E] a fool.
[A]
So [D] I left there in [G] the morning [D] without God tucked underneath [F#] my arm, [G] the half-assed smiles
[D] and the books of [A] rules.
[C#] [D] And I asked this God [G] a question and [D] by way of firm [F#] reply he said [G] I'm not the [D] kind you
have to wind up on [E]
[A] Sundays.
[B] [D] So to my old [A] headmaster [D] and to anyone [F#] who cares [G] before I'm through [D] I [A] want to say my
prayers.
[A] [D] I [Em] don't believe you to [D] have the whole damn thing [F#] all wrong.
[G] I'm not the [D] kind you have to wind up [A] on Sundays.
[G] Well you've got next to me [A] and you can't keep me [D] on my way to [Bm] Sunday school.
[G] I've got all the pictures [A] of my [B] Nazis' lives.
[D] [E] [F#m] [Bm]
[E] [F#m] [B]
[A] [B] [E] [D] [A] [B]
[E] [A] [B] How to dare to tell me that I'm a father's son [G] when that was just [D] an accident [F#] of birth.
[B] I'd rather look around me than pull the bed of stone.
[G] Pass me on [D] this measure [F#] of my worth.
[G] In your pomp and all [A] your glory [D] you're a poor old man to me.
[G] Have you licked the [A] boots of death, born out [B] of fear?
[E] [B]
Oh.
When I was young, and they packed me up to school,
[G] And taught me [D] how not to [F#] play the game,
I
[B] didn't mind, until the goons in Boston,
[G] Or in the [D] dance that I was [F#] just in school.
[G] I left there [A] in the morning, [D] with that gun [Bm] under my arm,
[G]
[A] And the [B] book of rule.
They [G] connected me [A] to the community,
[D] On my way to Sunday school,
[G] And all the feds [A] got this
[B] harmonizing line.

[A] [D] When [A] I was young, [D] and they packed me up [F#] to school,

I didn't [Em] mind, [D] if they groomed me for [F#] success,

[D] So to my [Em] old headmaster, [D] and to anyone [F#] who cares,
[G] Before I'm through, [D] I'd like to [A] say my prayers.
Well, [G] you can [A] excommunicate me,
[D] On my way to [Bm] Sunday school,
[G] And have all the feds get [A] [B] harmonizing lines.
[D] I [G] don't believe you,
You [D] had the whole damn [F#] thing all wrong,
[G] He's not the [D] kind you have the one.
