Verse 1
[Bm] [Gmaj7] [F#m7]
When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful
[A] [G6] [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] [G6] [E7/G#]
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
Verse 2
[Bm]
But then they sent me away,
[Gmaj7] [F#m7]
To teach me how to be sensible,
[A] [G6] [E7/G#]
Logical, oh, re - sponsible, practical,
[Bm]
And then they showed me a world...
[Gmaj7] [F#m7]
Where I could be so de - pendable,
[A] [G6] [E7/G#]
Oh, clinical, oh, intel - lectual, cynical
Chorus
[D] [G#m7b5/D]
There are times when all the world's a - sleep
[Gmaj7/D]
The questions run too deep...
[C] [Em/B] [Am7] [C/G]
For such a simple man----------,
[D] [G#m7b5/D]
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learnt,
[Gmaj7/D]
I know it sounds ab - surd, please, tell me who...

I am---------------! | / / / / | / / / / |
Verse 3
[Bm]
I said now, watch what you say,
[Gmaj7] [F#m7]
They'll be calling you a radical,
[A] [G6] [E7/G#]
A liberal, oh, fa - natical, criminal,
[Bm]
Oh, won't you sign up your name?
[Gmaj7] [F#m7]
We'd like to feel you're ac - ceptable,
[A] [G]
Re - spectable, oh, pre - sentable,
[E7/G#]
A vegetable! Oh, take it, take it, take it...
[Verse 4] (Sax break)
...Yeah!

But at night when all the world's a - sleep,
[Gmaj7/D]
The questions run so deep...

For such a simple man----------,

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below five of the diagrams.
F#m7 E7/G# Bm/D A G
<3 of 33> <19 of 26> <2 of 24> <4 of 23> <4 of 27>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default first
option and don't need any reselecting. As long as you
