Stay In School (CHORDS) by Otis Redding

[Spoken]~
E
Hi,, this is the big O,, Otis Redding

E
I was just standing here thinking about you

E
Thought I'd write a song about you

E
And dedicate it to you

E
Take a listen


[Verse]~
      E
If you didn't go back to school this year

      A
You're really not groovy

         B
Maybe you feel that school is a drag

             E
It just don't move ya

           E                               A
But did you ever think about how square you look standing

       B                                   E
In an employment line because school didn't interest you

E
You really ought to think about it

          E                       A
Without an education you could only be a tramp

  B                           E
Brogan shoes,, no haircut,, just plain ol' country

     E                              A
Don't worry 'bout the fellows on the co'ner calling you green

             B                       E
Because you're getting your future condition

E
You really ought to think about it

           E                  A
And further mo' tell them that Otis Redding said you're very wise

              B
Because you'll be at the top

         E                     A
When they get there and if they make it

         E                     A
When they get there and if they make it

         E                     A
When they get there and if they make it

    E              A             E
You really ought to think about it

A
Think about it

E               A
Really ought to think about it
