Chords for The 23rd Turnoff - Michael Angelo (1967)

_ I _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] read a book, [B] such a wonderful book
It [F#] taught me so much [B] that I undertook
[F#m] To live my life like [D] a man
[F#m] I'm _ _ _ _ working, I'm working, [B] I'm working, I'm working
[F#m] My pleasures went [B] even a few
_ [F#m] Working, I'm working, [B] I'm working, I'm working
[F#m] But only [E] in sleep did [D] I see it come [F#m] true
_ [A] Stay in your book [D] dreamer
Don't take a look [G] before you see
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _
_ Michelangelo, Michelangelo
[F#] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ Why should it be [B] that a man such as me
[F#m] Could not for money [B] and fame
_ [F#m] Shouldn't be [B] rich with God's natural gifts
To have something to show [D] at the end of [F#m] life's game
Stay in your book [D] dreamer
Don't take a look [G] before you see
_ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] Michelangelo, [F#m] Michelangelo _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Seems I must suffer [B] my work
What can I [F#m] do?
The love of my life [B] never take to the church
[F#m] But if it will glow like [B] the sun when children grow
Then my mind [E] with my name shall have lived not [F#m] in vain
_ _ Stay in your book [D] dreamer
Don't take a look before you [G] see
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Michelangelo, [F#m] Michelangelo _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
