^DBright college ^Gdays, oh, ^E7carefree days that ^Dfly ^GTo thee we ^Emsing with our ^Bmglasses raised on ^A7high ^DLet's drink a ^F#7toast as ^Bmeach of us re^F#calls ^DIvy-^B7covered pro^E7fessors in ^A7ivy-^Gcovered ^Dhalls

[Pre-verse]

^DTurn on the ^B7spigot ^EmPour the beer and ^A7swig it ^DAnd gaudeamus ^A7igit-^Dur

[Verse 1]

Here's to ^D7parties we tossed To the ^Ggames that we lost (We shall ^D7claim that we won them some ^Gday)

[Verse 2]

To the ^E7girls young and sweet To the ^Aspacious back seat Of our ^E7roommate's beat up Chevro^Alet

[Verse 3]

To the ^F#beer and benzedrine To the ^Bway that the dean Tried so ^F#hard to be pals with us ^Ball

[Verse 4]

To ex^G#cuses we fibbed To the ^C#papers we cribbed From the ^G#genius who ^C#lived down the ^C#dim7hall

[Bridge]

To the ^Atables down at ^A7Mory's ^DWherever that may ^Bmbe Let us ^Edrink a toast to all we love the ^Abest We will ^Asleep through all the ^A7lectures And ^Dcheat on the ^Bmexams And we'll ^Epass, and be forgotten with the ^Arest

Oh, ^Dsoon we'll be ^Gout ^E7amid the cold world's ^Dstrife ^GSoon we'll be ^Emsliding down the ^Bmrazor blade of ^A7life ^BBut as we ^F#7go our ^Bmsordid sep'rate ^F#ways ^DWe shall ^B7ne'er for^E7get thee, thou ^A7golden ^Gcollege ^Ddays

[Coda]
