The Kinks – Schooldays (Ukulele)

Dm            F             Dm                  C E7
If ever you think about the happiest days of your life

Dm                         F
Cast back your mind for a while

       Dm                   C                C E7
And remember the time when you were a child.

Dm                  C                    F      D7
Don't think of the things that make you sad

C                  C             F
JUst remember the good times you had.

C                     E7
Do you remember only happy days,

                Dm                 F
Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays?

C                            C
Or do you remember those stormy Novembers

         F                         C
When we walked in the wind and the rain?

C                         E7
Schooldays were such happy days,

Dm                    F
Now they seem so far away,

C                          C      C E7
I remember and I'll always treasure.

Dm       F             Dm                   C   E7
School days were the happiest days of your life

Dm               F            Dm
But we never appreciate the good times we have

C      E7
Until its too late.

Dm               C              F      D7
I miss all the acquantances we made

C                      C                 F
And I'd go back if i could only find a way,

C                         E7
Schooldays were the happiest days

                 Dm                    F
Though at the time they filled me with dismay.

C                          C                 C E7
We only remember what we choose to remember.

Dm              F         D7
When I was a schoolboy I loathed

C     E7
regulations and rules,

Dm             F              D7
I hated my textbooks and my school uniform

C        E7
Cos' it made me conform,

Dm                C           F        D7
And teachers were always disobeyed,

C                       C          F
But I'd go back if I could only find a way.

C                         E7
School days were the happiest days,

Dm                    F
Now they seem so far away.

C                          C      C E7
I remember and I'll always treasure,

Dm       F             Dm                   C   E7
School days were the happiest days of your life

Dm               F            Dm
But we never appreciate the good times that we hav

C      E7
Until it's too late.

Dm               C              F      D7
         Now I wish I hadn't strayed

C                       C          F
And I'd go back if I could only find a way.
