School Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Not[Dm]hing [G]to[Dm][C]
[Dm]do, Nellie Darling[F][Dm]
Nothing to do you [C]say
[Dm]Let's [C]take a trip on [Dm]memory's ship
Back to [C]the by [Dm]gone [C]days
Sail to the old village [F]school house
[Dm]Anchor outside the school door
[C]Look in [Dm]and [F#]see,[Dm][Bb]
[Bbm]there's [Dm]you and there's me
A couple of kids once more
[C]School [Dm]days, school [C]days,
dear old golden [F]rule [Dm]days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught [C]to the tune of a hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico,
[Dm]I wa[C]s your bas[Dm]hful[C] barefoot beau
And you wrote [Fm]on my slate,
I [C]love [Bbm]you Joe[Dm]
[Db]When [Dm]we were a couple of kids
[C]'Member the hill, Nellie Darling
And the oak tree that grew
on it's brow
They've built forty stories upon
that old hill
And the oaks an old chestnut now
[Dm]'Member the meadows
[C]so green dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots
and preferred bus'ness plots
They've cut them up
since those days
School days, school [Fm]days,
[Dm]dear old golde[E]n rule[Dm] days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
[C]Taught to [Fm]the tune o[C]f [Fm]a hic[C]k'ry stick
You were my queen in [F]calico,
[Dm]I wa[Db]s you[Dm]r bashful barefoot beau[C]
[Fm]And you wrote on my slate,
[Fm]I love[C] you Joe
[Dm]When we were a couple of kids
