[Intro] B  A  E  B  A  E

  B           F#  B
I fully understood
                           E
That you'd leave when your ship come by
      B           F#  B
And l fully understood
                  E
You had a purpose more high
               F#           B
Than to give a little schoolboy
   E      F#           B       F#      B
To give a little schoolboy his first love

    Bm        A
But oh, did I cry
          E
And did I cry
      Bm                 A
For I thought that those days
                    E
Would just fade and die
          B          F#          E
But every cell in my body has it all writ down
B      F#             E
Every smile and every frown
    B         F#        B
And oh, those good-time girls
          F#        B
Oh, those good-time girls
     E       F#        B
That book it sometimes makes me glad
     E       F#        B
That book it sometimes makes me sad
                 F#     B
But oh, it don't read bad
             F#     B
Oh, it don't read bad

( E )

  B          F#      B
I cursed you to your face
                   E
When you turned to go
          B            F#       B
But I see now that you did just right
                 E
And I bow to you low
               F#           B
For you gave a little schoolboy
    E      F#           B       F#      B
You gave a little schoolboy his first love

    Bm        A
But oh, did I cry
          E
And did I cry
      Bm                 A
For I thought that those days
                    E
Would just fade and die
          B          F#          E
But every cell in my body has it all writ down
B      F#             E
Every smile and every frown
    B         F#        B
And oh, those good-time girls
          F#        B
Oh, those good-time girls
     E       F#        B
That book it sometimes makes me glad
     E       F#        B
That book it sometimes makes me sad
                 F#     B
But oh, it don't read bad
             F#     B
Oh, it don't read bad
                 F#     B
And oh, it don't read bad
