The Quadratic Formula Song

	  		
Verse 1:
G                                    C            Em 
I saw a man on the street, with a parabola in his hand 
   G                        C            D 
He said "sir please help me I don't understand and 
G                               C               Em 
I've been having troubles these problems are my fears" 
   C             G             D              G 
So I took out my notebook and wiped away his tears 

 

         G         C 
With the quadratic formula

And it's negative b plus or minus 
                   D                 C 
the square root of b squared minus 4ac 
      G       C       D         G   C G 
Over 2a over 2a over 2a hee-hee-hee 

 
 
Verse 2:
 G                               C                   Em 
Although I couldn't factor it I attacked the equation fast 
      G                         C                D 
Did I plug in the coefficients, yep you bet your ask me 
G                           C                 Em 
If I could explain it, this problems down the drain 
C              G               D             G 
That's exactly when he stuck a knife into my brain 
    Em                           Am 
I exclaimed why did you do this, do you even care 
Em                                             D 
Didn't I just help you, didn't I complete your square

No, actually I used the...

Verse 3:
G                         C                   Em 
Now my life is over, I've seen all that I can see 
G                                      C               D 
Quadratics, cubics, quintics, quartics got the best of me 
G                                 C               Em 
But as I lay here dying a strange peace sets over me 
        C            G                    D                G 
Knowing that upon my tombstone carved for all the world to see
