 C                       
 D
     Those school girl days
                
 F                
 C
     of telling tales and biting nails are gone
     
 C                
 D
     But in my mind
                 
 F               
 C
     I know they will still live on and on

     
 B7                 
 Em
         But how do you thank someone
                 
 B7                           
 Em
         who has taken you from crayons to perfume
     
 D            
 G             
 D       
 A7 (xx2223)
         It isn't easy but I'll try

            
 D
     If you wanted the sky
         
 C                       
 D
     I'd write across the sky in letters
                
 C                    
 D
     that would soar a thousand feet high
        
 G         
 A      (riff)
     To Sir, With Love

     
 C                     
 D
        The time has come
                 
 F                   
 C
     for closing books and long last looks must end
     
 C               
 D
     And as I leave
                 
 F            
 C
     I know that I am leaving my best friend

     
 B7                        
 Em
        A friend who taught me right from wrong
            
 B7                                
 Em
        and weak from strong, that's a lot to learn
        
 D                
 G             
 D       
 A7
        What! what can I give you in return

            
 D
     If you wanted the moon
     
 C                               
 D
     I would try to make a start But I
           
 C                         
 D
     would rather you let me give my heart
        
 G         
 A      (riff)
     To Sir, With Love
     
 C                        
 D
        Those awkward years
                     
 F               
 C
        have hurried by why did they fly away
     
 C                 
 D
        Why is it Sir
                      
 F        
 C
        children grow up to be people some day

     
 B7                         
 Em
        What takes the place of climbing trees
             
 B7                         
 Em
        and dirty knees in the world outside
     
 D                
 G             
 D     
 A7
        What is there for you I can buy

            
 D
     If you wanted the world
            
 C                        
 D
     I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
           
 C                           
 D
     These words with letters ten feet tall
        
 G         
 A      (riff)  (end on strummed

     To Sir, With Love
