Intro:D D#
Em          C               Am                    D   D#
If ever you think about the happiest days of your life
Em             C
Cast back your mind for a while
Am                    D                   D#
And remember the time when you were a child.
Em             D                    C   Am
Don't think of things that make you sad,
G                     D                   C
Just remember all the good times that you had.


         G      D          Bm
Do you remember only happy days,
                Em             D C 
Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays?
            G                     D
Or do you remember those stormy Novembers
        C             C            G    D
When we walked in the wind and the rain?
      G    D               Bm
Schooldays were such happy days
         Em        D C
Now they seem so far away,
     G                       D     D#
I remember and I'll always treasure.
Em         C        Am                    D   D# 
Schooldays were the happiest days of your life
Em           C              Am  
But we never appreciate the good times we have
      D        D#
Until it's too late.

Em                    D         C    Am
I miss all the acquaintances we made
G                    D          C
And I'd go back if I could only find a way,
      G    D                 Bm
Schooldays were the happiest days
              Em                     D C
Though at the time they filled me with dismay.
          G                          D     D#
We only remember what we choose to remember.
Em            C          Am                      D    D# 
When I was a schoolboy I loathed regulations and rules
Em         C                Am     
I hated my textbooks and my school uniform,
                D     D#
'Cos it made me conform,
    Em            D          C    Am
And teachers were always disobeyed,
        G                  D          C 
But I'd go back if I could only find a way.


      G    D                 Bm
Schooldays were the happiest days,
         Em        D C
Now they seem so far away.
     G                       D     D#
I remember and I'll always treasure
Em         C        Am                    D   D#
Schooldays were the happiest days of your life
Em                C         Am
But we never appreciate the good times we have
           D       D#
Until it's too late.
Em         D          C    Am
Now I wish I hadn't strayed,
        G                  D           C
And I'd go back if I could only find a way.
       G
Schooldays.
