Teachers

Intro: Bm    

   Bm          G
I met a woman long ago
     Bm                   G
Her hair the black that black can go
     Bm           G
Are you a teacher of the heart?
 Bm
Soft she answered no

   Bm           G
I met a girl across the sea
     Bm                 G
Her hair the gold that gold can be
     Bm           G
Are you a teacher of the heart?
 Bm   
Yes, but not for thee

   Bm            G
I met a man who lost his mind
    Bm                G
In some lost place I had to find
 Bm            G        Bm
Follow me the wise man said
                 Bm
But he walked behind

   Bm            G
I walked into a hospital
       Bm                G
Where none was sick and none was well
  Bm               G
When at night the nurses left
   Bm
I could not walk at all

 Bm                G
Morning came and then came noon
 Bm             G
Dinner time a scalpel blade
 Bm          G         Bm
Lay beside my silver spoon

 Bm                G
Some girls wander by mistake
   Bm                G
Into the mess that scalpels make
     Bm              G
Are you the teachers of my heart?
    Bm 
We teach old hearts to break

     Bm            G
One morning I woke up alone
     Bm               G
The hospital and the nurses gone
 Bm             G
Have I carved enough my Lord?
  Bm  
Child, you are a bone

  Bm              G
I ate and ate and ate
      Bm              G
No I did not miss a plate, well
 Bm                G
How much do these suppers cost?
       Bm
We'll take it out in hate

    Bm            G
I spent my hatred everyplace
   Bm            G
On every work on every face
 Bm              G
Someone gave me wishes
       Bm
And I wished for an embrace

 Bm               G
Several girls embraced me
  Bm           G
Then I was embraced by men
Bm             G
Is my passion perfect?
     Bm
No, do it once again

Bm              G
I was handsome, I was strong
    Bm              G
I knew the words of every song
 Bm              G
Did my singing please you?
         Bm
No, the words you sang were wrong

  Bm           G
Who is it whom I address
  Bm                G
Who takes down what I confess?
     Bm              G
Are you the teachers of my heart?
    Bm
We teach old hearts to rest

    Bm              G
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
   Bm         G
I cannot do another one
      Bm                      G
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child
Bm
Are your lessons done?
Bm
Are your lessons done?
Bm
Are your lessons done?
