FsusMy first day of reFcess
They all lBbaughed at mFe
When I fAmell off the swing set
And scrBbaped up my knee.
FsusThe nurse called my mFama 
To say BbI'd be laFte
And when she Amgave me the phone 
I could Bbhear mama sCay,
I'm so sBborry, sF/Aon
Oh I think yCou're so bBbrave

When you come Fhome
No matter how Cfar
