Chords with lyrics

A minorAm DmDm E minorEm    A minorAm
     We had PE on Tuesdays And English on Wednesdays
A minorAm DmDm B7B7 E minorEm
     School was a prison Where I served my time
FF C majorC A minorAm B7B7
    The teachers all loathed me My attitude fooled them
G+G F# minorF#m FF D MajorD                      A minorAm
     They quite often nailed me To any old crime
A minorAm DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
     Life was so different For underachievers
A minorAm DmDm B7B7 E minorEm
     Who grew up surviving On scraps they were sent
FF C majorC A minorAm B7B7
    The painters, the singers The being unusual
G+G F# minorF#m FF D MajorD                       A minorAm
    They ducked and they dived Until they were fed

C majorC
Normal
    G+G
Would send me to sleep
   FF          C majorC
So I made my escape every day of the week
C majorC
Normal
    G+G
Would not teach me much
  FF              C majorC
So I stayed at home and watched Starsky and Hutch
F/AF/A       G+G  F/AF/A      G+G   A minorAm
I'm top of the form I'm top of the form

A minorAm DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
     I never read Shakespeare Or understood Latin
A minorAm DmDm B7B7 E minorEm
     I lived in a small house With no books at all
FF C majorC A minorAm B7B7
    But there was a record That I kept on playing
G+G F# minorF#m FF D MajorD
     And I had a suitcase Out in the hall
A minorAm DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
     Life was so different Or have I just grown up
A minorAm DmDm B7B7 E minorEm
     And turned into someone I feared I would be
FF C majorC A minorAm B7B7
    The teacher who caned me Is now on the inside
G+G F# minorF#m FF D MajorD                  A minorAm
    He's getting me back for my history

C majorC
Normal
    G+G
Would lead me to drink
  FF            C majorC
So I moved out and stuck my head in the sink
C majorC
Normal
   G+G
Meant nothing to me
   FF
But that's just the way
  C majorC
It turned out to be
F/AF/A       G+G  F/AF/A      G+G
I'm top of the form I'm top of the form

    FF
We had fish on Friday
C majorC
Roast on Sunday
FF
Salads in summer
F/AF/A       G+G
Fresh from the ground
  FF
We all peeled potatoes
   C majorC
While mum made the crumble
FF
My memory savours
F/AF/A       G+G
The love that we found

Lead Break to end
FF C majorC FF F/AF/A G+G FF C majorC FF F/AF/A G+G  A minorAm DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
