what did you learn in school today pete seeger

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers never die.
I learned that everybody's free,
And that's what the teacher said to me.
Chorus
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends.
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
Chorus

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Government must be strong;
It's always right and never wrong;
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again.
Chorus

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad;
I learned about the great ones we have had;
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance.
Chorus

Incredible...listening to my Playlist...thought you were Phil Ochs singing Pete Seeger. You're a better singer than both of them!

@AngelBug514 definitely too kind. Flattery will get you everywhere. recent comments inspired yet more procrastination. see our town. check out the link.

you NAILED THIS SONG

[mumd2003]

@supsupese hey thanks.was a fun song.

[Brerbearit]

watching you fingers.... Key of C? I IV and the occasional V? not V7 

A very simply little tune that works

finger picking thumb 1 2 3 does the picking pattern change?

[mumd2003]

Sorry but I dont have any music theory. I think it is not unlike when you go from a travis pick to a 1234 alternating picke that keeps alternating then back to a travis pick. Its not really that but by my ear it seems to be the same concept. You could record then slow tempo but not pirch and yo will hear each note. See my channel blurb. Thanks.

What a perfect song for you. Your voice has the innocence this song needs. It reminds me why I home-schooled my kids.

@sinawava42 I am in a public school, and yet I don't have the same political opinions as any of my teachers.

Oops...I meant Tom Paxton

[AngelBug514]

I think this is one of your best, vocally. I'm not musically trained...my only musical talent lies in my appreciation of it. And I appreciate most everything you do. Thank you.

Such a nice comment. Flattered. My brother home schools and i know what you mean.
