Schooldays The Kinks
[Em]If ever you th[C]ink about the [Am]happiest days of you[D]r [B7]life
[Em]Cast back your mind for a w[C]hile
And rem[Am]ember the time when y[D]ou were a child. [D] [B7]
[Em]Don't think of the t[D]hings that make you s[C]ad [A7]
[G]JUst remember the g[D]ood times you [C]had.
[G]Do you remember only h[B7]appy days,
Full of flaming [Em]Junes and summer ho[C]lidays?
[G]Or do you remember those stor[D]my Novembers
When we w[C]alked in the wind and the [G]rain?
[G]Schooldays were such happy[B7] days,
[Em]Now they seem so far a[C]way,
[G]I remember and I'll always [D]treasur[D]e.[B7]
[Em]School da[C]ys were the ha[Am]ppiest days of your l[D]ife [B7]
[Em]But we never appr[C]eciate the go[Am]od times we have
[D]Until i[B7]ts too late.
[Em]I miss all the ac[D]quantances we m[C]ade [A7]
[G]And I'd go back if i co[D]uld only find a wa[C]y,
[G]Schooldays were the happie[B7]st days
Though at the tim[Em]e they filled me with [C]dismay.
[G]We only remember what we ch[D]oose to remember. [D] [B7]
[Em]When I was a sch[C]oolboy I l[A7]oathed
[D]regula[B7]tions and rules,
[Em]I hated my text[C]books and my sc[A7]hool uniform
[D]Cos' it m[B7]ade me conform,
[Em]And teachers were [D]always disob[C]eyed, [A7]
[G]But I'd go back if I cou[D]ld only fin[C]d a way.
[G]School days were the happi[B7]est days,
[Em]Now they seem so far a[C]way.
[G]I remember and I'll always [D]treasur[D]e,[B7]
[Em]School da[C]ys were the ha[Am]ppiest days of your l[D]ife [B7]
[Em]But we never appr[C]eciate the go[Am]od times that we hav
[D]Until i[B7]t's too late.
[Em] Now I wi[D]sh I hadn't str[C]ayed [A7]
[G]And I'd go back if I cou[D]ld only fin[C]d a way.
[G]Schooldays.
