[Verse 1]
Bm                               Gmaj7       F#m7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
  A                   G          E7/G#
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical,
            Bm
And all the birds in the trees,
                Gmaj7      F#m7
Well, they'd be singing so happily,
    A             G         E7/G#
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

[Verse 2]
              Bm                        Gmaj7     F#m7
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
A                 G          E7/G#
Logical, oh, re - sponsible, practical,
              Bm                        Gmaj7            F#m7
And then they showed me a world where I could be so de - pendable,
    A                     G        E7/G#
Oh, clinical, oh, intel - lectual, cynical!

[Chorus]
          D                              G#m7-5/D
There are times when all the world's a - sleep
                      Gmaj7/D                C   Em/B  Am7  G
The questions run too deep for such a simple man---------------, 
          D                                     G#m7-5/D
Won't you please, ...please, tell me what we've learnt,
                      Gmaj7/D
I know it sounds ab - surd,
                      C  Em/B  Am7  G
Please, tell me who I am---------------!

[Verse 3]
            Bm                             Gmaj7         F#m7
I said now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical,
    A                  G      E7/G#
A liberal, oh, fan - atical, criminal,
              Bm
Oh, won't you sign up your name?
             Gmaj7            F#m7
We'd like to feel you're ac - ceptable
     A                    G           E7/G#
Re - spectable, oh, pre - sentable, a vegetable,
E7/G#
       Oh, take it, take it,...

[Verse 4 - Sax solo]

E7/G#         D                               G#m7-5/D
       But at night, when all the world's a - sleep,
                     Gmaj7/D                C  Em/B  Am7  G
The questions run so deep for such a simple man----------,

Won't you please, please, tell me what we've learnt,

I know it sounds ab - surd,

Please, tell me who I am-------------,  who I am--------------,

Who I am--------------,  who I am---------------,   yeah!
