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

[Verse]
    E MajorE
If you didn't go back to school this year
    A augmentedA
You're really not groovy
     BB
Maybe you feel that school is a drag
       E MajorE
It just don't move ya
      E MajorE                A augmentedA
But did you ever think about how square you look standing
    BB                  E MajorE
In an employment line because school didn't interest you
E MajorE
You really ought to think about it
      E MajorE            A augmentedA
Without an education you could only be a tramp
  BB              E MajorE
Brogan shoes, no haircut, just plain ol' country
   E MajorE               A augmentedA
Don't worry 'bout the fellows on the co'ner calling you green
       BB            E MajorE
Because you're getting your future condition
E MajorE
You really ought to think about it
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And further mo' tell them that Otis Redding said you're very wise
        BB
Because you'll be at the top
     E MajorE           A augmentedA
When they get there and if they make it
     E MajorE           A augmentedA
When they get there and if they make it
     E MajorE           A augmentedA
When they get there and if they make it
   E MajorE       A augmentedA       E MajorE
You really ought to think about it
A augmentedA
Think about it
E MajorE        A augmentedA
Really ought to think about it
