School Days (Ring Ring Goes The Bell)

Up in the mornin' and out to school

The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
              Eb7                Ab7
American history and practical math
                                  Eb
You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
                Edim                     Bb7
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
ab7                                      Eb
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

                      Eb
Ring, ring goes the bell

The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
                 Eb7            Ab7
You're lucky if you can find a seat
                                      Eb
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
              Ebdim                Bb7
Back in the classroom, open your books
 Ab7                                          Eb
Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks

                               Eb
Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down
                 Eb7                  Ab7
Close up your books, get out of your seat
                                 Eb
Down the halls and into the street
             Ebdim               Bb7
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Ab7                             Eb
Right to the juke joint, you go in

                              Eb
Drop the coin right into the slot

You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
                  Eb7                    Ab7
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
                                   Eb
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
             Ebdim              Bb7
Feeling the music from head to toe
Ab7                          Eb
Round and round and round we go

                      Eb
Hail, hail rock and roll

Deliver me from the days of old
       Eb7            Ab7
Long live rock and roll
                                 Eb
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
       Ebdim          Bb7
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Ab7                              Eb     E6 Eb6
The feelin' is there, body and soul.
