[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
But he walked behind
Bm
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Bm G
Morning came and then came noon
Bm G
Dinner time a scalpel blade
Bm G Bm
Lay beside my silver spoon
Bm
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Bm G Bm
Several girls embraced me, then
G
I was embraced by men
Bm G
Is my passion perfect?
Bm
No, do it once again
Bm
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
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?
Bm
