[Cm]
When I was [Ab] young it seemed that [Gm] life was so wonderful, [Bb] a miracle, oh it [Ab] was beautiful,
[F] magical.
And [Cm] all the birds in the trees, oh [Ab] they'd be singing [Gm] so happily, [Bb] oh joyfully, [Ab] oh [F] playfully watching me.
But [Cm] then they sent me [Ab] away to teach me [Gm] how to be sensible, [Bb] logical, [Ab] oh responsible, [A] practical.
And then [Cm] they showed me a world where I [Ab] could be so [Gm] [Bb] dependable, oh clinical, oh [Ab] intellectual,
[A] cynical.
There [Eb] are times when all the world [Cm] is me, my questions run [Ab] too deep, we're such a [Db] simple [Fm] [Bbm] mass.
[Db] Won't [Eb] you please, please tell me what [Cm] we've learned, oh it sounds absurd, but please tell
me who [Fm] I am.

[Db] I said, [Cm] now what would you say, [Ab] I'll be calling [Gm] you a radical, [Bb] a liberal, [Ab] oh [F] fanatical, criminal.
Oh [Cm] won't you sign up your name, we [Ab] have to be your [Gm] acceptable, [Bb] respectable, [Ab] oh [F] presentable,
affectionable.
Oh, [Cm] then, then, then, then, hey!
