Em              D                    C                 B
Long ago, in a dusty village full of hunger, pain and strife, 
Em                      D                     C 
A man came forth with a vision of truth and a way to a better 
A      D
life.
Em                          G              C  
He was convinced he had the answer and he compelled people to 
         D    
follow along.
         B                             C         A
But the hunger never vanished, and the man was banished, and 
     C         D           E          BCBCBCBC
the village dried up and died.
 
Em              D                       C                
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the 
B
skies,
Em                         D                 C
The Heavens changed in predictable ways and one man was able 
     A     D
to find,
Em                                  G                 C            
That he had thought he'd found the answer and he was quick to 
                  D
write his revelations.
        B                             C          A        C
But as they were scrutinised in his colleagues eyes, he soon 
          D       Em        BCBCBCBC         
became a mockery.
 
CHORUS: 
Em                       G                   C
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will 
            D
come along soon.
Em                            G       C               B
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too.
               C                   A     
But if you've got enough naiveté, and you've got conviction,
           C            D           Em
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.
