Stay in School Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding
I was just standing here
thinking about you
Thought I'd write a song
about you
And dedicate it to you
Take a listen

[Verse 2]
If you didn't go [D]back to school this year
Your [G]really not groovy
Maybe you [A]feel that [D]school is
a drag
It's just don't moving
But did you ever think about how
square you [G]look standing
In an em[A]ployment line because
school didn't [D]empty you

[Verse 3]
You really ought to think about it [D]Without
an education you could
only [G]be a tramp
Grow [A]'grain' shoes, [Am]no h[A]aircut,
just [D]plain ole country
Don't worry 'bout the fellows
gon[G]na calling you green
Because [A]your heading no
future condi[D]tion

[Verse 4]
You really ought to think about [D]it
And further motto than that [G]Otis
Redding saved you very wise
Because you'll [A]be at the top
When they get [D]that

[Verse 5]
and if they [G]make it
When they [D]get that
and if they [G]make it
When they [D]get that and if they [G]make it
You [D]really ought to [G]think

[Verse 6]
about [D]it
Think about it
Really ought to think about it
