Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Schooldays [Intro] F C F [Verse 1] In Delaware when I was younger

I would live the ^Clife obscene ^F In the spring I had great hunger I was Brando,^C I was Dean ^Am

Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy Oh, how I made them turn their heads

The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy ^C Begged me, bless them in their ^C7beds___^F ^C ^F

[Verse 2] In Delaware when I was younger

I would row^C upon the lake ^F In the spring I had great hunger I was Keats,^C I was Blake^Am

My pimpled pencil pains I’d bring To frogs who sat entranced

My drift-dreamed ditties I would sing ^C The water strider ^C7danced^F ^C ^F

[Verse 3] In Delaware when I was younger

They thought St. Andrew^C had sufficed ^F But in the spring I had great hunger I was Buddha,^C I was Christ^Am

You wicked wise-men, where’s your wonder? You Pharisees, someday will pay

See my lightning, hear my thunder ^C I am truth, I know the ^C7way__^F__ ^C ^F

[Outro] In Delaware when I was younger
