Version 1 
            Schools Out by Alice Cooper

This song isn’t hard to play but is very cool given that it is in three 
different keys; the chorus sections are of different length and end with
different chords, and there is a bridge section leading into another bridge 
section. These guys threw out the formula and created a masterpiece, here.

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin’ all that noise
'Cause they found new toys

 Can't salute ya, can't find a flag

    If that don't suit ya, that's a drag

School's out for summer

School's been blown to  pieces

And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

G        Bb  C   F  G
School's out for summer

School's been blown to pieces


[Bridge 2b] With Riff 2 x8

No more teachers’ dirty looks
C  sustain
Out for summer, out till fall
D  sustain
We might not go back at all


[Chorus 3]
G        Bb  C    F G
School's out for  ever
G        Bb  C   F  G
School's out for summer

School's out with fever
G        F       C
School's out completely
