_ _ _ [Ab] Here's a song about my [G] gym teacher. _

[Gbm] _ [C] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ [Dbm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ She was a big tough woman, the first to come along.
[Am] It [E] showed me being female meant you still could [Am] be [D] strong.
[Em] And though [Am] graduation [Em] meant that we had to part,
[D] she'll always be a player [Am] on the ball field.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] [Am] Her name on my notepad [C] and I inked it [G] on my dress.
And I [C] etched it on my locker and I [D] carved it on [Em] my desk.
_ [C] And I painted [Bm] big red hearts with [Dm] her initials [C] on my books.
_ [D] And I never [G] knew till later why I got those funny books.
[D] _ _
She [G] was a big tough woman, the first to come along.
[A] It showed [Em] me being female [A] meant you still could be strong.
[Em] And though [Am] graduation meant [Em] that we had to part,
[D] she'll always be a [Am] player on the ball field.
[G] _ Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] in gym class while the others talked [C] of boys that [G] they loved, _
[Am] I'd be thinking [C] of new aches and [D] pains a teacher [Em] had to rub.
_ _ [C] And while other [G] girls [Bm] went to the prom, [A] I [C] languished by the phone,
_ _ [D]
[G] calling up and hanging up if I found out she was [D] home.
_ [G] _ She was a big tough _ _ _ _ woman, the first to come along.
It [Em] showed me being female meant you still [Am] could be strong.

[C] Some suggestive [Bm] points for Christmas [Dm] by Miss Edna [C]
Mallet.
_ [D] And [G] a lacy, lacy, lacy card [D] for [G] Valentine's Day.

[B] [Em] And though [Am] graduation meant [Em] that we had to part,
[D] she'll always be a [Am] player on the ball field.

_ _ _ _ Here comes the moral of the song.

_ One [Am] girl who [Gm] sticks to teacher like a [D] leaf sticks to [G] a [Bm] tree.
[Em] _ _ _
[C] One girl who [Bm] runs the errands and [Dm] who chases [C] all the balls.
