New Song-- I'm Leaving Grade 3 For the Sea

New song: I'm Leaving Grade 3 For the Sea

Leaving Grade 3 For the Sea

C                      F                                  G

Oh, take me along on a sailing ship,

C                                       G                  F 

And I’ll make some tales of the sea.

C                           F                                G 

I’ll trade this desk for a quarterdeck,

C                                        G                                  

When I leave grade three for the sea, boys.

C                                        G                     C

When I leave grade three for the sea.

Chorus:

C                                                                            

So good-bye forever until we meet again.

C                                                   G

I’ll never leave here until I part.

C                                                                                           

So long fair teacher and my faithful classmates.

C                     F                     G   

I can’t get going until I start.

C                                                              

There’ll be no more school for me.

C                                                          G

There’ll be no more school for me.

C                                                      G             

I’ve had enough of this classroom stuff,

C                                                 G                                  

Cause I’m leaving grade three for the sea, boys.

C                                     G                   C  

I’m leaving grade three for the sea.

C                                                                         

Chorus

I’ll read the breeze, chart my ABC’s.

Count the stars in the galaxy.

Many schools of fish are my only wish.

When I leave grade three for the sea , boys.

When I leave grade three for the sea.

Chorus

I’ll sing sea shanties, paint the seven seas.

Climb the mainmast for PE.

They’ll be more white boards when I’m on board,

When I leave grade three for the sea, boys,

When I leave grade three for the sea.

Chorus
