SCHOOL DAYS - written and performed by Chuck Berry

Intro D+
                             G
Up in the mornin' and off to school, The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
                               C
American hist'ry and practical math
                                   G
You're study'in hard, 'n hopin' to pass
                                       D
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
D7                                       G
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Verse 2:
                    G
Ring ring, goes the bell, The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
                               C
You're lucky if you can find a seat
                                     G
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
                                 D
Back in the classroom, open your books
D7                                            G
Gee, but the teacher don't know how mean she looks

Verse 3:
                          G
Soon as 3 o'clock rolls around, You finally lay your burden down
                                     C
Close up your books, get out of your seat
                            G
Down the halls and into the street
                                    D
Up through the corner and round the bend
D7                             G
Right to the juke joint you go in

Verse 4:
                             G
Drop the coin right into the slot, You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                                      C
With the one you love you're makin' romance
                                    G
All day long you've been wantin' to dance
                               D
Feelin' the music from head to toe
D7                            G
Round and round and round you go

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

(repeat verse 4)

Verse 5:
                     G
Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll! Deliver me from the days of old
                   C
Long live rock 'n' roll
                               G
The beat of the drums loud and bold
                     D
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll
D7                             G
The feelin' is there, body and soul
