SCHOOL DAY written and performed by Chuck Berry tab transcribed by Collins Crapo Up in the mornin' and off to school The teacher is teachin' the golden rule American hist'ry and practical math You're studyin' hard, hopin' to pass Workin' your fingers right down to the bone And the guy behind you won't leave you alone Verse 2: Ring ring, goes the bell The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell You're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you have time to eat Back in the classroom, open your books Bet the teacher don't know how mean she looks Verse 3: Soon as 3:00 rolls around You finally lay your burden down Close up your books, get out of your seat Down the halls and into the street Up through the corner and round the bend Right to the juke joint you go in Verse 4: Drop the coin right into the slot You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot With the one you love you're makin' romance All day long you've been wantin' to dance Feelin' the music from head to toe Round and round and round you go (instrumental, same pattern as verses) (repeat verse 4) Verse 5: Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll! Deliver me from the days of old Long live rock 'n' roll The beat of the drums loud and bold Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll The feelin' is there, body and soul Enjoy!
