Well [A] the dawn was [G] coming,
[D] [A] heard them ringing [Em] on my [D] bed, they [A] said my dear is a [G] teacher,
[D] Oh [A] that is what I call [Em] myself, [G]
[D] [A] and I have a lesson, [G]
[D] [A] that I must impart [G] to [D] you, [A] it's an old expression, [G]
[D] [A] but I must insist [G] it's [A] true.
[C] [D] So I popped, looked [F] around, find [D] these clouds [C] gone [D] puff, gone standing, sitting [F] back, hating [D] [C] everyone, [D] gone back to my [C#] land, and [F] it's time [D] to live [C] and hope, [D] that everything will [G] be okay [F] when the birds [Bm] go.

[D] Hey man, [Em] what's the [F] plan, [D] what's the [C] statuette,
[D] suns and drinking [F] and lying [D] [C] there in [D] bed, I [F] socialized but I didn't [D] seem to [C]
[D] find what I was looking [F] for, that's under [B] my
[Bm] [E] mind.
