Student Song

• Bm

Verse:
Bm
Well my feet are tired
A
And my back is sore
G
And my body’s aching
A
And my hands are raw
Bm
And my eyes are drowsy
A
And my mouth is dry
G
And I feel so alive 
A
That I could almost die
Bm
‘Cos my pockets are draughty
A
From the rent so steep
G
And my arms are shaking 
A
From the lack of sleep
Bm
And my mind is melting
A
As my blisters burst
G
But my grin is endless
F#
‘Cos it could be worse

Chorus:
G
So I drop to my knees
D
And give thanks to the Lord
A
For the rising tuition
D
I can barely afford
G
I’m so happy to live
D
In the land of the free
A
Free to pay higher tuition
Bm
So I can succeed

Verse:
Bm
I got a class in the morning
A
I gotta study at noon
G
I gotta work in the evening
A
And an essay due soon
Bm
I got a test on the morrow
G
And a quiz in an hour
A
And a bill overdue
F#
For the phone and the power

Verse:
Bm
I got a girl who’s upset
A
Yeah, she thinks I’m a jerk
G
‘Cos I cancelled our plans 
A
To get called into work
Bm
And my heart is breaking
A
As I face my curse
G
But my grin is endless
F#
‘Cos it could be worse

Chorus:
G
So I drop to my knees
D
And give thanks to the Lord
A
For the rising tuition
D
I can barely afford
G
I’m so happy to live
D
In the land of the free
A
Free to pay higher tuition
Bm
So I can succeed

Verse:
Bm
So I ride my bike
A
Ride right up to my door
G
I will climb up the stairs 
A
And look for work tomorrow
Bm
‘Cos the clock in the kitchen
A
Reads a quarter to three
G
Now tomorrow is today
F#
In the land of the free
Bm
So I climb in my bed
A
And try to forget
G
That come Summer I’ll work three jobs
A
Just to pay down my debt
Bm
But they gotta go slave
A
I’ll remember that first
G
And my grin will be endless
F#
‘Cos it could be worse


Chorus:
G
And I drop to my knees
D
And give thanks to the Lord
A
For the rising tuition
D
I can barely afford
G
‘Cos so I’m glad that I get
D
Some hair on my chest
A
And I get to build character
D
Passing this test
G
Oh I’m so happy to live
D
In the land of the free
A
Free to pay higher tuition
Bm
So I can succeed
