I'm Going to Say It Now Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh I am just a student, sir
And only want to learn
But it's hard [E]to read
[C]through the risin' smoke
Of the books that you like [G]to burn

[Verse 2]
[C]So I'd like to make a prom[Eb]ise
And [C]I'd like to make a [G]vow
That when [C]I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now

[Verse 3]
Oh you've given me a number
[B]And [C]you've taken off my name
To get [E]around [Am]this campus
Why, you [C]almost [G]need a plane

[Verse 4]
[C]And you're supporting Chang [Em]Kai-Shek
While [C]While I'm [F]supporting [G]Mao
So when [C]I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now

[Verse 5]
I wish that you'd make up [B]your mind
I wish [C]that you'd decide
That I [E]should live as freely
[Am]As those[C] who live outside[G]
Cause we also [C]are entitled [Em]To the ri[C]ghts

[Verse 6]
[F]
to be endowed
[G]And when [C]I've got something to say, sir
I'm [F]gonna [C]say it now

[Verse 7]
[C]Ooh, you'd like to be my father
You'd like to be my Dad
And [E]give me kisses
[Am]when I'm good
And spank me [C]when I'm [G]bad
But [C]since I've left my

[Verse 8]
[Em]parents
I've [F]forgotten how to [G]bow
So when [C]I've got something to say, sir
[F]I'm gonna say [C]it now

[Verse 9]
[C]And things they might be different
If I was here alone
But [Eb]I've got a [C]friend or [Am]two
Who [C]no longer live at [G]home
[C]And we'll respect our eld[Em]ers J[C]ust as long

[Verse 10]
[F]
as they [C]allow
[G]That [C]when I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now
I've read of other countries [B]Where the [C]students take

[Verse 11]
a stand
Maybe [Eb]even help to over[Am]throw
[C]The leaders of [G]the land
Now [C]I wouldn't go

[Verse 12]
so far [Eb]to say
[C]We're also [F]learnin' how
[G]But [C]when I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now

[Verse 13]
So keep right on a-talkin' And [F]And tell
us what [C]to do
If [Eb]nobody [C]listens
[Am]My apologies t[G]o you
And [C]I know

[Verse 14]
that you were younger
[Em]once
[C]'cause you sure [F]are older [C]now
[G]And when I've [C]got something to say,
[Am]sir
[F]I'm [C]gonna say it now
So I am just a student [Am]sir

[Verse 15]
[F]
And only [C]want to learn
But it's hard [Eb]to read [C]through the risin'
smoke
From the books that you like [G]to burn

[Verse 16]
So I'd like to make [C]a promise
And I'd like [F]to make a [C]vow
[G]That [C]when I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now
