Chords for Elton John - Teacher I Need You (1972) With Lyrics!

[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
I was sitting in the classroom, [Bb] trying to look intelligent [F] and gay.
The teacher looked [C] at me.
_ _ [Am]
She was long and she [Dm] was lean.
[Bb] She'd [F] meddle [Gm] and dream.
[F] I thought, lady, it means [Bb] the [F] whole world [Gm] to me.
_ [C] _ [F]
It's a natural achievement.
[Bb] To bother in my homework with [F] a human pounding in [C] my brain. _ _
[A] She's an [Dm] inspiration [Bb] for [F] my [Gm] graduation.
[F] And she helps [Bb] me keep the [F] classroom sane.
_ Oh, teacher, [Dm] [C] I [Bb] need you [Dm] like every [C] child.
[Am] You got [Dm] something in [C] you to [Bb] drive to for [C] a while.
To give [Dm] me [C] head and [Bb] toothpaste.
You're [Dm] my love, sweet [C] love.
[Am] Help me get [Dm] straight [C] from my [Bb] bed.
Teacher, I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher [F] I need you.
[Eb] _ [Bb] [F] Oh, [Eb] oh, oh.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Tell her about my feelings.
[F] Just to let her know [C] the scene.
_ [Am] _ Focus my [Dm] attention [G] on [Bb] some [F] further [Gm] education.
[F] The connection with [Bb] the [F] world is [Gm] empty.
_ [C] _ [F] So I'm sitting in the classroom.
[Bb] I'm looking like a zombie.
[F] I'm waiting for the bell [F] to ring.
[C] _ _ [Am] I've got John [Dm] Wayne's senses.
[C] I've [Bb] got [F] airplane [Gm] that passes.
And [F] it doesn't mean [Bb] a [F] dog gone plain.
_ [Dm] Oh, teacher, I [C] [Bb] need you [Dm] like a little [C] child.
[Am] You got [Dm] something in [C] you [Bb] to drive school [C] for a while.
Give [Dm] me [C] [Bb] education in [Dm] my love's [C] _ [Am] bedclothes.
Help me get [Dm] me [C] calm.
I'll [Bb] say, teacher, I, teacher, I, teacher, I, teacher, I [F] need you.
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] Oh, [Dm] teacher, [C] I [Bb] need you [Dm] like a [C] little child.
[Am] You got [Dm] something [C] in you [Bb] to drive [C] school for a while.
[Dm] Give me [C] [Bb] education [Dm] in my love's [C] bedclothes.
[Am] Help me get [Dm] me [Am] calm.
[Bb] Teacher, I, teacher, I, teacher, I, teacher, [F] I need you.
[Eb] Oh, [Bb] oh, [F] oh, oh, oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh.
