[Intro] BABA x2
[First Verse] B (strum once, fast) I found my locker and I found my classes B (strum once, fast) Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses, B (strum once, fast) That guy is huge! that girl is wailing! F#E First day of school and I’m already failing.
[Chorus] BABA This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BABA This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[2nd Verse] BA I’ve got a blue and red adidas bag and a humongous binder, BA I’m trying my best not to look like a minor niner. BA I went out for the football team to prove that I’m a man F#E I guess I shouldn’t tell them that I like duran duran.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[3rd Verse] BA Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed BA and none of them can help me study for my math test. BA I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone; F#E I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[1st Bridge] B (throughout bridge) They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat, they called me Eddie
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[4th Verse] BA I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants, BA I put them on and I went to the high school dance. BA Dad said I had to be home by eleven - F#E aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
