Fall  is here, hear the yell
Back  to school, ring the bell
Brand  new shoes, walking blues
Climb  the fence, books and pens
I  can tell that we  are gonna be friends
I  can tell that we  are gonna be friends
Walk  with me, Suzy Lee
Throught  the park and by the tree
We  will rest upon the ground
And  look at all the bugs we've found
safely  walk to school  without a sound
Safely  walk to school  without a sound
Well,  here we are, no one else
We  walked to school all by ourselves
There's  dirt on our uniforms
From  chasing all the ants and worms
We  clean up and now  it's time to learn
 D Cadd9 G <- put 3rd finger on 3rd fret, 2nd string
 We clean up and now it's time to learn
Numbers,  letters, learn to spell
Nouns  and books and show and tell
At  playtime we will throw the ball
Back  to class, through the hall
Teacher  marks our height  against the wall
 D Cadd9 ( G ) 3rd finger on 3rd fret, 2nd string
 Teacher marks our height against the wall (for rest of song too)
 or whatever):
We  don't notice any time  pass
we  don't notice anything
We  sit side by side in every class
Teacher  thinks that I sound funny,
But  she likes the way you sing
Tonight  I'll dream, while I'm in bed
When  silly thoughts go through my head
About  the bugs and alphabet
And  when I wake tomorrow I bet
That  you and i will walk  together again
I  can tell that we  are gonna be friends
I  can tell that we  are gonna be friends
 (one strum on final chord)
 Well, there it is. i'm 100% sure this is perfect.
