Biography:
The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Education
Intro:Bb F C Gm *2 C F C F
C F C F
In a deep dark jungle long time ago
C F
Lived a lonesome caveman
Dm Gm Em
He was a solitary soul
C F
And he spent his playtime
C F
Chewing meat from bones.
C F
He didn't know how to talk much
C F
He only knew how to groan
Bb F
Then he lifted up his hands and reached to the sky
C Gm
Let out a yell and no one replied.
Bb F
Frustration and torment tore him inside
C Gm C Gm
Then he fell to the ground and he cried and he cried.
D C
But then education saved the day.
Am G
He learned to speak and communicate
D C
Education saved the day.
Am G
He thanked God for the friends he made.
C F
'Cos everybody needs an education
C F
Everybody needs an education.
Dm Gm Em
Black skin, red skin, yellow or white,
C F
Everybody needs to read and write
C F
Everybody needs an education.
Bb F C Gm *2
Bb F
Thank the day when that primitive man
C Gm
Learned to talk with his brothers And live off the land.
Bb F
He left his cave and he moved far away
C Gm
And he lived with his friends in a house that they'd made
Bb F
He learned to think and to work with his brain
C Gm
And he astounded his friends with all the knowledge he gained
Bb F
He wrote it down on a rock that he found
C Gm C Gm
And he showed all his friends and they passed it around
D C
And then education came that day.
Am G
The day it came was a sacred day.
D C
Education came that day
Am G
He thanked God for the friends he'd made.
C G C G C G C G
C G
Well man built a boat and he learned how to sail
C G
And he travelled far and wide
C G
Then he looked up above saw the stars in the sky
A C
So he learned how to fly.
C G
Thanks to all the mathematicians
C G
And the inventors with their high I.Q.s
C
And the professors in their colleges
G
Trying to feed me knowledge
A C
That I know I'll never use.
Bb F
Thank you sir for the millions of words
C Gm
That you've handed me down and you've told me to learn
Bb F
But I've got words in my ears and my eyes
C Gm C Gm
I've got so many facts that I must memorize
D C
Because education's doing me in
Am G
I want to stop but my head's in a swim
D C
Education drives me insane
Am G
I can't recall all the facts on my brain.
D C
Education came that day
Am G
The day it came was a sacred day
D C
Education saved the day
Am G
He thanked God for all the friends he made.
C G C G
C G
Teacher, teach me how to read and write,
C G
You can teach me about biology,
C G
But you can't tell me what I am living for
C G
'Cos that's still a mystery.
C G
Teacher, teach me about nuclear physics
C G
And teach me about the structure of man,
C G
But all your endless calculations
C G
Can't tell me why I am.
Guitar solo
C Bb Gm C Bb Gm
No you can't tell me why I am,
C Bb Gm C Bm Gm
No you can't tell me why I am.
C F
Everybody needs education,
C F
Open Universities, education.
C F
Every race every creed, education.
C F F F F
And every little half-breed, education.
C F
Every nationality, education.
C F
All the little people need education.
Dm Gm Em
Eskimos and pygmies need
C F
And even aborigines, education.
C F
Well physics and geography, education.
C F
Philosophy and history, education.
C F
Science and biology, education,
C F
Geometry and poetry, education.
C F C F C F
Well, education, education, education, education
