[B]
[A] You might be interested to know that song was written by a very remarkable woman,
Malvina Reynolds, 60 years old, lives in California and makes up songs about everything that happens to the world.
[N] And I really think
You know, there are not enough women here.

you ever hear the story of the convention?
It was in America, women's suffrage, a hundred years ago, they were fighting for the right to vote.
And they had one of their early conventions.
The chairman concluded her speech and said,
Ladies, we have a big job to do.
We must now return to our home communities and carry on the fight for the right to vote.
We will have many problems and many detractors,
but in our hour of deepest need, we can pray to God and she will hear our prayers.

A song that I wrote 10 years ago has become well known because of another gracious lady, Marlena Dietrich.
She sings it in a different language than I wrote it in, but I think it sounds even better.
Even though I can't sing it all, she starts off
Zot me aho dee bloomin' zin
Where have all the flowers gone?
[Bm] [A] Long [E] time passing
[A] Where have all the [D] flowers gone?
Long [E] time ago
[A] Where have all the flowers gone?
[B] [F#m] Girls have picked [E] them every one
[G] When will [A] we ever learn?
[B] When will we ever [A] learn?
Where have all [F#m] the young girls gone?
[B] [Bm] Long time [E] passing
[A] Where have all [Em] the [F#m] young girls gone?
[B]
Long time ago
[E] Where [A] have all the girls [Bm] gone?
Taken [G] husbands every one
When [A] will we ever learn?
[Bm] When will we ever [A] learn?
Where have [F#m] all the young
[B]
Long [D] time [E] passing
[A] Where have [F#] all the young [F#m] [Bm] men
Long time [E] ago
Where [A]
have all [F#m] the young men gone?
[B]
They're [G] all in uniform, oh
[A]
My only complaint about this song is that maybe it's not specific enough.
It's too easy just to say, when will we ever learn, without being
what you're really talking about.
