I Was Educated By Myself Chords by Richie Havens

[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I can't buy the lie _ _
_ [Bbm] And it don't matter
[Bb] _ Even _ [Ebm] though I try
To _
[Ab] keep my health
It _ [Db] all seems the same
_ Such [Bbm]
a silly game
[Bb] _ _ Played [Ebm]
by silly fools
_ [Gb] _ [Ab] Who don't even know
Or follow their own [Ebm] rules
But _ oh, when the sunshine [Ab] follows me around
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ Lifts my feet, [Ab] takes me from the ground
_ High [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] enough _ [G] for me to [E] tell _
_ _ _ [Ebm] That I [Ab] was educated _ [Db] by myself _
_ _ _ [Ebm] Oh, oh, _
_ _ _ [Ab] oh _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] I've seen the streets _
Grow _ [Bbm] lean _ [Bb] and not fatter
[Ebm] Though amongst us all
We [Gb] _ [Ab] kept our wealth _ _ _
_ [Db] And although the rain _ _ _
_ [Bbm] Goes pitter-patter
[Bb] It _
_ [Ebm] don't change the pain _
That [Ab] we all felt
But _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ oh, when the sunshine follows [Fm] us around _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ Lifts our feet, [Ab] takes us from the ground
_ High _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] enough _ [Db] to see the shelf _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] And to know
[Ab] That we were educated [Db] by _ ourselves _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, _
[Ab] _ oh, _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ oh
_ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ It's [Db] a silly dream
_ A _ _
[Bbm] common pattern
_ [Bb] A _ _
[Ebm] universal scheme
_ For [Ab] us to sell
_ And _ _
[Db] although it's a long, long way _ _
[Bbm] Between Mars and [Bb] Saturn
_ It's [Ebm] right here on Earth
We _ _
[Ab] know so well
_ But _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ all we need is
[Ab] Sunshine on the ground _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ Smiles and smiles and [Ab] smiles
_ _ From the ground _ [Ebm] Just _ _ [Ab] enough
_ _ For us [G] to yell _
[Dbm] Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
yeah
That _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] we _ _ _ _ Were _ _ _ [Ab] educated
_ By _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] ourselves _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ [Ebm] oh, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] oh _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
