(1st verse)
Bm Bm* D F#
I realize they meant no harm and that they'd seen the truth
Bm Bm* D F#
These men and women young and old who tried to mold my youth
D F# Bm Bm*
They were only teaching me how to get through life
D F# Bm Bm*
How to punch the clock and get a home and get a wife
D F# Bm Bm*
They knew I was searching for things I'd never find
So they tr[G]ied to break my mind by pad[A]dling my behind
(chorus)
D F# Bm Bm*
All for the love of an innocent mind
They were the bl[G]ind leading the bl[A]ind
D F# Bm Bm*
All for the love of molding young minds
They were t[G]o kind
