Verse 1
There once was a teacher of great (E minor)
renown
Whose words were like tablets
(B major) of stone (E minor)
Because it's (A minor) easier to learn
than un (B major) learn (E minor)
Because we've (A minor) passed the
point (C major) of no (B major) return (E minor)
Gather (C major) your goods (A minor) and follow me (B major)
(E minor) Or you will surely die

(E minor) Over the (A minor) mountain with a napkin of snow (B major)

Carry me home, my teacher
Carry (A minor) (E minor) me home
