B
I found my locker and I found my classes
B
Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses,
                B
That guy is huge! that girl is wailing!
F#                           E
First day of school and I’m already failing.
 
 
[Chorus]
B                  A                     B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
B                  A                     B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
 
 
           B                                 A
I’ve got a blue and red adidas bag and a humongous binder,
B                                         A
I’m trying my best not to look like a minor niner.

  B                                             A
I went out for the football team to prove that I’m a man
  F#                                              E
I guess I shouldn’t tell them that I like duran duran.
 
 
B                   A                   B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
B                   A                   B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
 

B                                       A
Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
B                                  A
and none of them can help me study for my math test.
B                               A
I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;
F#                                     E
I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.
 
 
[Chorus]
B                   A                   B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
B                   A                   B               A
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
 
 
[Bridge]
B
They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes
 
they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,
               N.C.
they called me Eddie
 
 
[Chorus]
B                   A                   B
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
B                   A                   B
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
 
 
B                              A
I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,
B                               A
I put them on and I went to the high school dance.
B                    A
Dad said I had to be home by eleven -
F#                      E
aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.
 
 
[Chorus]
B                   A                   B
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
B                   A                   B
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
