The Logical Song

  Am                            
When I was young, it seemed that 
  F           Em7
life was so wonderful
   G                   F       
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, 
   F#dim
magical
             Am                
And all the birds in the trees, 
                  F          Em7
well, they'd be singing so happily
     G              F      
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, 
   F#dim
watching me

[Verse 2]
               Am                  
But then they sent me away, to 
      F         Em7
teach me how to be sensible
 G               F          F#dim
Logical, oh, responsible, practical
Continues after the ad
                Am             
And then they showed me a world 
               F        Em7
where I could be so dependable
      G                F        
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, 
F#dim
cynical

[Bridge]
           C                       
There are times when all the 
     C6
world's asleep
                       F           
The questions run too deep for such
           Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F
 a simple man
            C                   
Won't you please, please tell me 
             C6
what we've learned
                    F              
I know it sounds absurd, but please
               Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F
 tell me who I am

[Verse 3]
            Am                   
I said, now watch what you say or 
            F             Em7
they'll be calling you a radical
   G             F         F#dim
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
               Am               
Oh, won't you sign up your name, 
               F             Em7
we'd like to feel you're acceptable
    G                F        
Respectable, oh, presentable, a 
   F#dim
