[G] I was [C] just a little boy [G] in elementary [D] school.
[G] English and math [C] and science class, [G] learning [D] [G] the golden rule.
I learned how to [C] add and how to subtract, [G] how to multiply [D] and divide.
[G] I learned about [C] bugs and I learned about plants [G] and I learned [D] how to [G] read and write.
But my most [C] favorite class of all [G] was the last class [D] of the day.
[G] When my history teacher [C] would tell us tales [G] of old [D] times long [G] gone away.
I was amazed at the way [C] she knew all the [G] people and their names and the [D] places and the dates.
[G] That's when I first [C] learned about General Lee [G] and his [D] thirteen [G] rebel states.

[G] One [C] day she came to school [G] with a big brown grocery [D] bag.
[G] She opened it up [C] and we all helped her hold it [G] up to his great [D] big [G] egg shaped flag.
And she said, class, not [C] only a fool will tell [G] you this flag is a [D] symbol of hate.
[G] It represents the [C] men who fought and [G] died with pride [D] for our [G] competitor states.
You're Simon tonight.
[C] I want you to [G] write.
I want you [D] to pretend.
[G] That one of these brave men [C] came back to life.
[G] Now what [D] would you say [G] to him?
A school bell rang [C] and I followed and I thought [G] I had the bus carried me [D] across town.
[G] I got out my [C] pencil and my notebook.
[G] This [D] is what I [G] wrote down.

[G] when I ran across [C] my old teacher's name [G] and I saw [D] her she had [G] passed away.
But with a bittersweet smile, [C] I looked up at my wall [G] of rainbow paper in an old [D] wood frame.
[G] Where underneath pencil [C] words almost faded away, [G] she had marked [D] a [G] great big red A.
