Teacher

	  		 
         Ab             Gb6   Db  
Well the dawn was coming,  
                     Ab             Gb6   Db  
heard him ringing on my bell.  
           Ab             Gb6   Db  
He said, My name's the teacher,  
         Ab             Gb   Db  
that is what I call myself.  
               Ab             Gb   Db  
And I have a lesson  
        Ab             Gb   Db  
that I must impart to you.  
         Ab             Gb   Db  
It's an old expression  
         Ab             Gb   Ab B  
but I must insist it's true.  
 
Db  
Jump up, look around,  
E            Db    B  
find yourself some fun,  
Db                          E   Db    B  
no sense in sitting there hating everyone.  
  Db                        E   Db    B  
No man's an island and his castle isn't home,  
Db                               E        Bb7  
the nest is full of nothing when the bird has flown,.''  
 
(rest the same)  
So I took a journey,  
threw my world into the sea.  
With me went the teacher  
who found fun instead of me.  
 
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?  
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.  
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find  
what I was looking for, got something on my mind.  
 
Then the teacher told me  
it had been a lot of fun.  
Thanked me for his ticket  
and all that I had done.
