Verse 1
(D major) When I hear them raving
about their favorite schools,
Kinda get a lump in my throat.
Not (G major) an educa (F major) tional (G major) fool (F major) is the rule,
But one school definitely
gets my vote. (G major) (E minor)
The gals (G major) are prettier, the (C major) men are wittier,
And (F major) it's a pity you're (G major) not here (C major)
To join (F sharp minor) in the fun (B major) ,
but come (E minor) on everyone,
(A major) give a (D major) cheer (G major) .
(D major) Hooray!
(G major) Why do we yell?
We yell for Fairmont College.
Why is it swel (E minor) ter than the (C major) rest? (D major)
We (G major) are aware that maybe
Fairmont College
(E minor) isn't the biggest, but it's (D major) sure the best.
(C major) Our school (B major) is coeduca (E minor) tional.
There's (G major) a gal for every (C major) guy.
You'll admit that's (G major) sensational. (E minor)
Fairmont (C major) is the (D major) apple of our
(Fdim) eye. (E major) (E minor) (C major) (G major)
Once you've seen it,
you will never wish again
You (Ddim) went to Michigan (D major)
(G major) Once you've tried it,
Yale will seem so fail -decided
How you'll (C major) love our (E minor) campers,
what (C major) a big surprise (E minor)
You (G major) will surely (C major) (B major) stamp (E major) us
as (E minor) a gang of gents
and your peachy (A major) gals and
guys. (D major) (F major) (E minor) (A major)
Hail (D major) to thee, (F sharp minor) O (B minor) Fairmount,
(E minor) with (D major) banners flying (E major) high. (A major)
(D major) And as (F sharp minor) long as (B minor) we shall live,
(D major) thy spirit (A major) shall (E major) not (Asus4) die. (A major)
Hallowed halls we (D major) cherish
in tender memory, (G major)
we shall sing thy praises. (D major)
Oh, (E minor) (G major) (D major) Fairmount, (A major) hail to (D major) thee. (G major) (C major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)
(C major) (E minor) (E minor) (E minor) (F sharp minor) (G major) (B minor) (F sharp minor) (G major) (B minor) (D major) (A major) (E minor)
(D major) Do we yell, give a cheer?
Do we yell, a cheer?
Cause happy days are (G major) here.
Oh, why do we yell,
we yell for Fairmont College?
Why is it louder (E minor) than the (D major) rest?
(G major) We're aware that maybe
Fairmont College (E minor)
isn't the biggest, (D major) but it's sure the best.
(C major) Our school (B major) is coeduca (E minor) tional.
(G major) There's a gal for every (C major) guy.
Don't you think that's
sensa (G major) tion (E minor) al?
Fairmont (C major) is the apple (G major) of our (Fdim) eye (E major) !
Great men (A minor) are from here,
so you'd better come here
(C major) Give our school (G major) (D major) a (G major) try!
Fairmont College!
