The logical
song
Am ~ ~
Am F Em
1. When I was young, it
seemed that life was so wonderful,
G F
D
a
miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical.
Am F Em
And all the birds in the trees, they’d be
singing so happily,
G
F D
so joyfully,
oh, playfully watching me.
Am F Em
2. But
then they sent me away, to teach me how to be
sensible,
G
F
D
logical,
oh, responsible, practical.
Am F Em
And they showed
me a world where I could be so dependable,
G F
D
clinical,
oh, intellectual, cynical.
C Am
There are times when all the world’s asleep,
C Bb - Dm - Gm
the questions run
too deep for such a simple man.
C
Am
Won’t you please, please, tell
me what we’ve learned,
C Bb - Dm - Gm
I know it sounds absurd,
please tell me who I am.
+ Bb - Dm - Gm
Am F Em
3. I said, watch what you say or they’ll be
calling you a radical,
G F
D
a
liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal.
Am F Em
Oh, won’t you sign up your
name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable,
G F D
respectable,
oh, presentable, a vegetable.
+ instrumental = verse 3
C Am
+ And at night, when all
the world’s asleep, the questions run so deep
Bb - Dm - Gm
for such a simple
man.
C Am
Won’t you, please, please,
tell me what we’ve learned,
Bb - Dm
- Gm
I know it sounds absurd,
please tell me who I am !
Bb - Dm - Gm Bb - Dm
- Gm
Who I am. Who I am.
Bb - Dm - Gm
Who I am.
