School - Supertramp
from Crime of the Century (1974)

Verse 1
Am
I can see you in the morning
         Em
When you go to school
G
Don't forget our books,
                                  Dm
You know you've got to learn the golden rule.
Am
Teacher tells tou Stop your play and go on with your work,
    G
And be like Johnnie Toogood.
                  F                                 Am D  Am G  Am D  Am G
Don't you know he never shrinks, he's coming along

Verse 2 - same chords (except for last line)

After school is over
You're playing in the dark,
Don't be out too late
Don't let it get too dark.
They tell you not to hang around
And learn what life's about
And grow up just like them,
Won't let you work it out
           C        E
And you're full of doubt

E                  Am
Don't do this and don't do that
Am
What are they tryin' to do ?
Dm
Make a good boy of you,
C            Dm         E
Do they know where it's at?
E                         Am
Don't criticise they're old and wise

Do as they tell you to,
Dm
Don't want the devil to,
C         Dm         E       A       B   E    E   A    B   E
Come and pull out your eyes___________.

Verse 3 - Same chords as before

Maybe I'm mistaken
Expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy
I don't know wrong from right. But while I'm still living
I've just got this to say
It's always up to you, if you want to be that,
F                          C          E
Want to see that, want to see it that way.
                Am
You're coming along
