[Intro] Bm 

Bm                               Gmaj7      F#m7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
  A                  G          G#º
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

            Bm                                 Gmaj7     F#m7
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
   A             G           G#º
Oh joyfully, Ooh playfully...watching me

              Bm                       Gmaj7    F#m7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
A               G         G#º
Logical, Ooh responsible, practical

         Bm                             Gmaj7    F#m7 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
   A                 G         G#º
Oh clinical, Ooh intellectual, cynical


           D         D6               G#m7(5-)
There are times when all the world's asleep
          Gmaj7/D        Gmaj7  
The questions run too deep
                  C  C/B Am7 Am7/G
For such a simple man

           D             D6                 G#m7(5-) 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
         Gmaj7/D      Gmaj7  
I know it sounds absurd
                         C  C/B Am7 Am7/G | C C/B Am7 Am7/G
But please tell me who I am

    Bm                              Gmaj7          F#m7
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
  A            G         G#º
A liberal, Ooh fanatical, criminal
          Bm                            Gmaj7          F#m7
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
   A                G             G#º
Respectable, Ooh presentable, a vegetable! Oh Dig dig dig yeah!

[Solo Sax] Bm  Gmaj7  F#m7  A  G G#º

           D         D6               G#m7(5-)
There are times when all the world's asleep
         Gmaj7/D        Gmaj7 
The questions run too deep
                  C  C/B Am7 Am7/G
For such a simple man

           D             D6                 G#m7(5-)
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
         Gmaj7/D      Gmaj7
I know it sounds absurd
                         C  C/B Am7 Am7/G 
But please tell me who I am

      C  C/B Am7 Am7/G
Who I am
      C  C/B Am7 Am7/G
Who I am
      C  C/B Am7 Am7/G
Who I am
