[Am]When I was young, it seemed that [F]lilfe was so [E]wonderful,
a [G]miracle, oh it was [F]beautiful, [F#dim]magical.
And all the [Am]birds in the trees, well they'd be [F]singing so [E]happily,
oh, [G]joyfully, oh, [F]playfully, [F#dim]watching me.


But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
logicalm oh, responsible practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
There are [C]times when all the world's as[C6]leep,
the questions run too [F]deep for such a simple man[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]   
Won't you [C]please, please tell me what we've [C6]learned?
I know it sounds ab[F]surd. Please tell me who I am.[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]     
{eoc}

    
I said, now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable,
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!


{soc}
At night, when all the world's asleep...
{eoc}


{c:Outro:}
[F]Please tell me who I am,[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]who I am,[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]
who I am,[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]who I am,[Bb]        [Dm]          [Gm]             [Dm]

[A7]       [Dm]        [C6]         [A7]        [Dm]       [C6]         [F]

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord Bb
Bb is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
