To Sir, With Love

A                    B7
Those schoolgirl days,
           D                A  
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone
              B7
But in my mind, 
                      D                 A
I know that they will still live on and on


Ab             Dbm
But how do you thank someone,
        Ab                           Dbm
who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
B7       E              B   B7
It isn't easy, but I'll try


       B                       A                       B7
If you wanted the sky, I would write across the sky in letters
           A                    B7
That would soar a thousand feet high;
   E         Gb
To Sir, with love


A                B7
The time has come,
            D                   A
for closing books and long last looks must end
              B7
And as I leave,
                 D               A
I know that I am leaving my best friend


  Ab                   Dbm
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
    Ab                                Dbm
And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn;
B7               E             B   B7
What, what can I give you in return?


       B                       A             B7
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
            A                         B7
but I would rather you let me give my heart;
   E         Gb
To Sir, with love
