an d I only want to learn

smoke

So I'd like to make a promise,

and I'd like to make a vow
C
Am
That when I got something to say,

C
sir, I'm gonna say it now
Am
Oh, you've given me a number,
F
G
and you've taken off my name
C
E
Am
To get around this campus,
D
why you almost need a plane
G
C
And you're supporting

well I'm supporting my home
C
Am
So when I got something to say,
F
C
sir, I'm gonna say it now

I wish that you'd make up your mind,
F
C

as those who live outside

E
Cause we also are entitled

And give me kisses when I'm good
D

and smack me when I'm bad

G
C

So when I got something to say,
F
C
sir, I'm gonna say it now

C
Am
And things they might be different
F
C
if I was here alone

But I got a friend or two
D
G
who no longer live at home
C

And we'll re spect our elders
F
just as long as they allow
G

Am
And when I've got something to say,

C
sir, I'm gonna say it now
Am
I read of other countries
F
C
where the students take a stand
E

Maybe even help to overthrow
D
G
the leaders of the land
C
E
Now I wouldn't go so far to say
F
we're also learning how
C
Am
But when I got something to say,
F
C
sir, I'm gonna say it now
Am
So keep right on a -talkin',
F
C
tell us what to do
E
Am
And if nobody listens,
D
G
my apologies to you
C
E
And I know that you were younger once,
F
cause you sure are older now
C
Am
And when I've got something to say,
F
C
I'm gonna say it now
Am
Oh, I am just a student, sir,
F
C
and I only want to learn
E
But it's hard to read through
D
G
from the books that you like to burn
E
So I'd like to make a promise,
F
G
and I'd like to make a vow
C
Am
That when I've got something to say,
F
C
sir, I'm gonna say it now
Am
When I've got something to say,
F
sir, I'm gonna say it now
