Am
           
Dm
        
Am
             
In the morning we built the city  
         
C
                            
E
  
In the afternoon walked through its streets 
 
C
              
G
  
Evening saw us leaving  
  
Am
                             
E7
                
Am
  
We wandered through our days as if they would never end 
 
Am
                                        
C
  
All of us imagined we had endless time to spend 
    
Am
                             
G
  
We hardly saw the crossroads and small attention gave 
   
Am
                                 
E7
            
Am
  
To landmarks on the journey from the cradle to the grave,  
 
E7
             
Am
     
E7
           
Am
  
cradle to the grave, cradle to the grave 
 
         
Am
        
Dm
           
Am
        
Did you learn to dream in the morning?  
 
C
                         
E
  
Abandon dreams in the afternoon? 
 
C
                         
G
  
Wait without hope in the evening? 
          
Am
                           
E7
               
Am
  
Did you stand there in the traces and let 'em feed you lies? 
 
Am
                                                      
C
  
Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes? 
   
Am
                                  
Did you kiss the foot that kicked you, 
          
G
  
did you thank them for their scorn? 
       
Am
                                  
E7
           
Am
                
Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born, 
 
E7
            
Am
    
E7
           
Am
  
act of being born, act of being born? 
 
         
Am
       
Dm
          
Am
        
Did you alter the face of the city?  
 
C
                                 
E
  
Make any change in the world you found? 
    
C
                       
G
  
Or did you observe all the warnings? 
          
Am
                            
E7
               
Am
  
Did you read the trespass notices, did you keep off the grass? 
 
Am
                                                         
C
  
Did you shuffle up the pavements just to let your betters pass? 
          
Am
                           
Did you learn to keep your mouth shut, 
           
G
  
were you seen but never heard? 
         
Am
                       
E7
          
Am
                
Did you learn to be obedient and jump to at a word, 
 
E7
            
Am
    
E7
           
Am
  
jump to at a word, jump to at a word? 
 
     
Am
   
Dm
         
Am
           
Did you demand any answers? 
     
C
                              
E
  
The who and the what and the reason why? 
    
C
                       
G
  
Did you ever question the setup? 
          
Am
                                  
E7
              
Am
  
Did you stand aside and let 'em choose while you took second best? 
 
Am
                                                           
C
  
Did you let 'em skim the cream off and then give to you the rest? 
   
Am
                              
G
  
Did you settle for the shoddy and did you think it right 
    
Am
                                 
E7
            
Am
                
To let 'em rob you right and left and never make a fight, 
 
E7
            
Am
      
E7
           
Am
  
never make a fight, never make a fight? 
 
   
Am
         
Dm
            
Am
             
What did you learn in the morning? 
 
C
                                
E
  
How much did you know in the afternoon? 
    
C
                     
G
  
Were you content in the evening? 
          
Am
                             
E7
              
Am
  
Did they teach you how to question when you were at the school? 
 
Am
                                                       
C
  
Did the factory help you grow, were you the maker or the tool? 
   
Am
                                 
G
  
Did the place where you were living enrich your life and then 
         
Am
                          
E7
              
Am
                
Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow men, 
 
E7
             
Am
    
E7
              
Am
  
all your fellow men, all your fellow men?
