"The Logical Song" was written primarily by Roger Hodgson, the lyrics based on his experience of being sent away to boarding school for ten years.

The ChordPro (also known as Chord) format is a text-based markup language for representing chord charts by describing the position of chords in relation to the song's lyrics. ChordPro also provides markup to denote song sections (e.g., verse, chorus, bridge), song metadata (e.g., title, tempo, key), and generic annotations (i.e., notes to the ...
