The Logical Song
Ton : CEnglish
Couplet
Cm7When I was young, it seemed that Abmaj7life was so Gm7wonderful,
BbA miracle, oh it Fm7/Abwas beautiful, F7/Amagical.
And all the Cm7birds in the trees, well they'd be Abmaj7singing so Gm7happily,
BbJoyfully, Fm7/Abplayfully Am7(b5)watching me.
But then they Cm7send me away to teach me Abmaj7how to be Gm7sensible,
LoBbgical, Fm7/Abresponsible, F7/Apractical.
And they Cm7showed me a world where I could Abmaj7be so depenGm7dable,
BbClinical, Fm7/Abintellectual, Am7(b5)cynical.
Refrain
There are Ebtimes when all the world's Am7(b5)/Ebasleep,
The questions run too Abmaj7deep
For such a simple Dbman.
Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab
Won't you Ebplease, please tell me what we've Am7(b5)/Eblearned
I know it sounds Abmaj7absurd
But please tell me who I Dbam.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
Refrain
At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I Dbam.
