D B7
Em            C             Am                  D B7
If ever you think about the happiest days of your life
Em                         C
Cast back your mind for a while
       Am                   D                D B7
And remember the time when you were a child.
Em                  D                    C      A7
Don't think of the things that make you sad
G                  D             C
JUst remember the good times you had.

G                     B7
Do you remember only happy days,
                Em                 C
Full of flaming Junes and summer holidays?
G                            D
Or do you remember those stormy Novembers
         C                         G
When we walked in the wind and the rain?
G                         B7
Schooldays were such happy days,
Em                    C
Now they seem so far away,
G                          D      D B7
I remember and I'll always treasure.
Em       C             Am                   D   B7
School days were the happiest days of your life
Em               C            Am
But we never appreciate the good times we have
D      B7
Until its too late.

Em               D              C      A7
I miss all the acquantances we made
G                      D                 C
And I'd go back if i could only find a way,
G                         B7
Schooldays were the happiest days
                 Em                    C
Though at the time they filled me with dismay.
G                          D                 D B7
We only remember what we choose to remember.
Em              C         A7
When I was a schoolboy I loathed
D     B7
regulations and rules,
Em             C              A7
I hated my textbooks and my school uniform
D        B7
Cos' it made me conform,
Em                D           C        A7
And teachers were always disobeyed,
G                       D          C
But I'd go back if I could only find a way.

G                         B7
School days were the happiest days,
Em                    C
Now they seem so far away.
G                          D      D B7
I remember and I'll always treasure,
Em       C             Am                   D   B7
School days were the happiest days of your life
Em               C            Am
But we never appreciate the good times that we hav
D      B7
Until it's too late.

Em               D              C      A7
         Now I wish I hadn't strayed
G                       D          C
And I'd go back if I could only find a way.
G
