Kindergarten Wall Chords by John Mccutcheon

[C] _ [G] _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _ [G] _ [C] _ _
[G] [C] When I was a [F] little kid not so long [C] ago [F] I had [C] to learn a lot [F] of stuff
[G] I didn't even know [C] how to dress myself
Time [F] issues [G] how to jump a rope [C] how to [G] smile [F] for a [Em] picture [Dm] without looking [G] like a dope
But of all the [C] things I learned [F] my favorite [C] of them all [F] was a little [Dm] poem [C] hanging [Dm] on the kindergarten [G]
wall _ [C] Ah
All you learn [F] here remember [C] this the [F] best [C] don't hurt each [Dm] other and [G] clean up your [C] mess
Take a nap every [F] day [G] wash [A] before [G] you eat hold hands stick [Em] together [Dm] look before you [G] cross the street
_ [F] [C] Remember the [F] seed in the little [C] paper cup first the root [G] [F] goes [Am] down and then [Dm] the [C] plant [G] grows up
[C] _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [G] _ Well, it [C] was verse second third [F]
grade fourth grade [C] to [F] where I had to learn [C] the [Dm] big things
The big [G] kids [C] do to add subtract and [F] multiply [G] read write and play how to sit in [F] a little [Em] uncomfortable [Dm] desk for nearly [G] half a day
But of all the [C] things they taught [F] me of all the [C] great and small still my favorite [Dm] was the [C] poem [Dm] on the kindergarten [G] _ wall Ah
[C]
All you learn here [F] remember this [C] the best [F]
don't [C] hurt each other [Dm] and clean up [G] your mess
[C]
Take a nap [F] every day wash [G] before [Am] you eat [C] hold hands stick together look [Dm] before you cross [G] the street _
[C] Remember the [F] seed in the [C] little paper cup first the root goes [F] down and then the plant [C] grows up _ _

[G] _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ But lately I've been worried [F] as I look around [C] and see [F] an awful [C] lot of grown-ups [Dm] acting foolish [G] asking me
[C] I know there's lots of things to [F] know I [G] haven't mastered yet still [C] it [G] seems there's [F] real [E] important [Dm] stuff that grown-ups [G] soon forget
So I'm sure we'd [C] all be better [F] off if we would [C] just recall [F] that [Em] little [Dm] poem [C] hanging [Dm] on the kindergarten [G] wall
_ Ah, [C] of all you learn [F] here remember [C] this the best [F] don't [C] hurt each other [Dm] and clean [G] up your mess

The [F] seed in [G] the little [C] paper cup first the root goes down [Gm] and then the plant [C] grows up
_ _ You'll [F]
