Did you (Bb7)say I’ve got a (Eb)lot to learn?

Well, don’t (C7)think I’m try ing (Fm7)not to learn.

Since this (C7)is the per fect (Fm7)spot to learn,

teach me

(Bb7)to (Gm7)night.

Start ing (Bb9)with the “A B (Eb)C” of it,

right down (C7)to the “X Y (Fm7)Z” of it,

help me (C7)solve the mys ter (Fm7)y of it.

Teach me

(Bb7)to (Eb)night.

The sky’s a (Fm7)black board (Bb7)high a (Gm7)bove you.

(C)If a (Fm7)shoot ing (Bb7)star goes (Eb)by,

I’ll use that (Am7)star to (D)write “I (Gm)love you”

Grad u (C7)a tion’s al most (Fm7)here, my love.

Teach me
