[F] [Eb/F] [Bb/F] [F]
I was [F]sitting in the classroom
[Bb]Trying to look intelligent
In [F]case the teacher looked at [C]me[F][C][F][C][F][C]
She was [Am]long and she was [Dm]lean
She's a [Bb]midd[F]le-aged d[Gm]ream
And that [F]lady means the [Bb]whole wo[F]rld to[Gm] me[C]
It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
And she helps[F] to keep the [Bb]class[C]room [F]sane
Oh teacher [Dm]I [C]need [Bb]you [Dm]like a little [C]child
[Am]You got something [Dm]in you to [Bb]drive a school boy [C]wild
You give me[Dm] ed[C]uc[Bb]ation in the l[Dm]ove sick [C]blues
[Am]Help me get straight [Dm]come out and say
[Bb6]Teacher I, t[Bb]eacher I, tea[Csus4]cher I[C], Teacher I need [F]you
I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection with the birdies and the bees
So I'm sitting in the classroom
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances
I've got Erroll Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggone thing
