Biography:
Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer, political activist and author, and a key figure in the mid-20th century American folk music revival. He is particularly loved as the author (or co-author) of the songs Where Have All the Flowers Gone, If I Had a Hammer, and Turn, Turn, Turn. One of his brothers is Mike Seeger; Peggy Seeger is his half-sister.
As a member of The Weavers, Seeger had a string of hits, including a 1949 recording of Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene" that topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950.

[Chorus]
G D7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine,
G D7 G-G7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
[Verse]
C G
I learned that Washington never told a lie,
C G
I learned that soldiers seldom die.
C G
I learned that everybody's free,
C G
That's what the teacher said to me.
G D7 G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.
[Chorus]
G D7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine,
G D7 G-G7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
[Verse]
C G
I learned that policemen are my friends,
C G
I learned that justice never ends.
C G
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,
C G
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
G D7 G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.
[Chorus]
G D7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine,
G D7 G-G7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
[Verse]
C G
I learned our government must be strong,
C G
It's always right and never wrong.
C G
Our leaders are the finest men,
C G
And so we elect them again and again.
G D7 G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.
[Chorus]
G D7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine,
G D7 G-G7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine?
[Verse]
C G
I learned that wars are not so bad,
C G
I learned of the great ones we have had.
C G
We fought in Germany and in France,
C G
And someday I might get my chance.
G D7 G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.
