[A] [G] [F] [Bb] [C]
When I was a little [F] kid, not so [Em] long ago, [F] I had to [C] learn a lot of [F] stuff I didn't [G] even know.
[C] How to dress myself, tie my [F] shoes, how to jump a [C] rope, how to smile for a picture [F] without looking like [G] a dope.
[F] But of [C] all I learned, [F] my favorite [C] of it all, [F] was a little [Dm] poem [C] hanging [Dm] on the kindergarten [G] wall.
Ah, [C] all you learned here, [F] [Em] remember this the [F] best.
[C] Hurt each [F] other and [G] clean up your mess.
[C] Take [Em] a nap every [F] day, [G] wash [Am] before you [C] eat, hold hands, sit together, [F] look before you [G] cross the street.
[F] [C] Remember the [F] seed in the little paper [C] cup, first the root [G] goes down [F] and then [C] the plant grows up.
[Bb]
[C] It was for second, third grade, [Fm] fourth grade [Em] too.
[F] I had [C] to learn the big [Dm] things the big [G] kids do.
[C] To add, [E] subtract, and [F] multiply, read, and write, [Em] and play, [C] how to sit in a little [G] uncomfortable [F] desk for nearly [G] half a [C] day.
[F] But of [C] all they taught [F] me, of all the great [C] and small, [F] still my favorite was the poem on the kindergarten [G]
wall.
[F] Ah, [C]
all you learned here, [F] [Em] remember this the best.
[F]
Hurt [C] each other [Dm] and [G] clean up your mess.
[C] Take a nap [F] every day, [G] wash [Am] before you [B] eat, [C] hold hands, sit [Em] together, [Dm] look before you [G] cross the [F] street.
[C] Remember the [F] seed in the little paper [C] cup, first the root [F] goes down and then the [C] plant grows up.
[G] [F] [C] [F] [C] But lately I've been worried, [F] as I look [Em] around and [F] see an awful [E] lot of grown [Dm]-ups acting foolish [G] as can be.
[C]
Sure there's lots of things to learn [F] I haven't mastered [G] yet,
still it seems there's real important stuff that grown-ups soon forget.
[F] And I'm [C] sure we'd all be better off [F] if we would just [C] recall [F] that little [Dm] poem [C] hanging [Dm] on the kindergarten [G] wall.
Ah, [C] all you learned [F] here, remember [Em] this the best.
[F] Don't [C] hurt each other [Dm] and clean [G] up your mess.
