SCHOOL - SUPERTRAMP
[Intro]
(Harmonica ad lib)
[Verse 1]
(Vintage Electric Piano +E Guitar)
Am Em
I can see you in the morning when you go to school.
G Dm
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule.
(+Clarinet)
Am Em
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work,
G Dm
And be like Johnny Toogood. Don't you know he never shirks.
He's coming along.
[Bridge 1]
(EP, Freely, Very slow lead-in)
Am D/A Am G/A Am D/A Am G/A
[Verse 2]
(EP + Bass + Drums)
Am Em/A
After school is over, you're playing in the park.
G/A Dm/A F/A
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark.
Am Em/A
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about.
G/A Dm/A F/A
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?
D/A
Make a good boy of you.
Am D E
Do they know where it's at?
E Am
Don't criticise, they're old and wise.
Am
Do as they tell you to.
D/A
Don't want the devil to
Am D
Come and pull out your

eyes.

[Verse 3]
(EP +Bass +Drums)
Am Em/A
Maybe I'm mistaken, expecting you to fight.
G/A Dm/A F/A
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right.
Am Em/A
But while I'm still living, I've just got this to say.
G/A Am
It's always up to you, if you wanna be that,
F/A C E
Wanna see that, wanna see it that way.
Am7+9 (Hold to finish)
You're coming along.
