Johnny Cash - Straight A’s In Love: chords

F
Well a reading and a writing and
arithmetic never did get through to me
It ain't because I'm square or thick,
because I learned my abc's
But when I graduated from the grammar school
and I moved one grade above
A#                                   C7
I began to be a snook at hook but I made
                 F
straight a's in love

Chorus:
F        A#
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
          F
but I'd bring home c's and d's
F   A#
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
A#      G                               C7
On the left and on the right and in the back
and the front of me
C7      F
Oh my grades are low on my card
I know but they oughta give me one above
F          A#
If they'd give me a mark for learning in the dark
     C7                    F
I'd have straight a's in love

Now in my senior year with
graduation near I did my homework every night
And when my mama said
I oughta go to bed I'd turn out all the lights
But my sweetie pie was waiting right
outside she'd be a cooing like a dove
Though I did my best
I failed semester test but
I made straight a's in love

Chorus
