Elton John - Teacher I Need You: chords

       F
I was sitting in the classroom
A#
Trying to look intelligent
    F                          C F C F C F C
In case the teacher looked at me
        Am               Dm
She was long and she was lean
         A#    F/A    Gm7
She's a middle-aged dream
          F              A#    F/A     Gm7 C F/C C
And that lady means the whole world to me

It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
         F                 A#   C    F
And she helps to keep the classroom sane

Chorus:
           Dm C   A#  Dm              C
Oh teacher I need you like a little child
Am                Dm          A#                C
You got something in you to drive a school boy wild
           Dm C A#            Dm         C
You give me education in the love sick blues
Am                   Dm
Help me get straight come out and say
A#6         A#          Csus4 C                  F
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you

I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection with the birdies and the bees

Oh, so I'm sitting in the classroom, woo!
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances,
I've got Erroll Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggoned thing

Chorus:
Oh, teacher, I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher, I need you

Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, teacher, I need you
