Straight A's In Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, the [D]readin' and the
writin' [Dm]arith[D]metic
Never [Dm]did [D]get through to me
It ain't because I'm square or [Dm]thick
'Cause [D]I l[Dm]earned m[D]y A[A], be, s[D]ee

[Verse 2]
But when I [D]graduated from
the grammar school
And I moved one [A]grade [D]above
[G]I began to be a snook at b[D]ooks
But I [A]made straight A's in [D]love

[Verse 3]
Now the [G]teacher would say
to learn your algebra
But I'd [D]bring home see's and D's
How [G]could I make an A when
there's a swingin' [D]maid
On the [A]left [E]and on the right and in
the [A]back [D]and the [A]front [D]of [A]me?

[Verse 4]
Oh, my [D]grades are low on my card, I know
But they oughta give me one above
If they'd [G]give me a mark for
learnin' in the dark
I'd [A]have straight A's in love

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Now in my [D]senior year with graduation near
I did my homework every night
And when my momma said I oughta go to [A]bed
I turn out all the [D]lights

[Verse 6]
But my [D]sweetie pie was
waitin' right outside
She'd be a coolin' like a dove
Though [G]I did my best, I failed semester test
But I [A]made straight A's [D]in love

[Verse 7]
Now the [G]teacher would say
to learn your algebra
But I'd [D]bring home see's and D's
How [G]could I make an A when
there's a swingin' maid
On the [E]left and on the right and in
the [A]back and the front of me

[Verse 8]
Oh, my [D]grades are low on my card, I [A]know
[D]But they oughta give me one above
If they'd [G]give me a mark for
learnin' in the dark
I'd [A]have straight A's in [D]love
