[A]
[D]
[E]
When I was young and they packed me off [F#] to school
[G] And they taught [D] me how not to play the [E] game
[A]
[D] I [E] didn't mind [D] if they groomed me for [F#] success
[G] Or if they said [D] that I was just a [E] fool
[A]
[D] So I left there in [G] the morning
[D] With that guard tucked underneath [F#] my arm
[G] The half-assed [D] smiles and the book [A] of rules
[B] [D] And I asked this guard [E] a question
[D] And my wayfaring [F#] reply
He [G] said, I'm not the [D] kind you have to wind up [A] on [E]
[A] Sundays
[B] [D] So I told my old [E] headmaster
[D] And to anyone [F#] who cares
[G] Before I'm through
[D]
I'd [A] like to say [E] my
[A] prayers
[B] [D]
I don't [E] believe you
You [D] have the whole damn thing [F#] all wrong
[G] He's not the [D] kind you have to wind up on [A] Sundays
Well, you [G] can next [A] communicate me
[D] On my way to [Bm] Sunday school
And [G] have all the big [A] guns [B] harmonize these lines
[D] [F#]
[Bm] [A] [F#]
[B] [A]
[B] [B]
Don't you dare to tell me that I'm
[G]
[D] [F#] underfed
I'd [B] rather [A] look [B] around me
Suppose I better
[G] Ask the honest [D] measure of [F#] my worth
[G] In your forms and [A] all your glory
[D] You're a poor old man to me
[G] As you lick the [A] boots of death
[B] Born out of fear
When I was young
They packed me off to school
[G] And taught me [D] I'm not to play [F#] the game
I [B]
didn't mind if the grotesque boss said
[G] Or if he said [D] that I was [F#] just a fool
[G] I left there [A] in the morning
[D] With that guard under my arm
[G] On [A] [B] the broom
[Bm]
[B]
Well, [G] you can next [A] communicate me
[D] On my way to Sunday school
[G] And have all the big [A] guns [B]
harmonize these lines
