I can tell that we are going to be friends


Lovely little song by the White Stripes and covered by Jack Johnson.
As a strum, I suggest tap the uke, then chord, so TAP C TAP C TAP C etc.

C
fall is here   hear the yell    back to school   ring the bell
F                              C          
brand new shoes  walkin blues  climb the fence  books and pens
G               F               C
i can tell that we are gonna be friends (x2)

Walk with me,Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are,no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers,letters,learn to spell
nouns,and books,and show and tell
at  playtime we will throw the ball
back to class,through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

F                       C
And we don't notice any time pass
F                C
we don't notice anything
D
we sit side by side in every class
F
teacher thinks that I sound funny
G
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends
