Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding
E
I was just standing here thinking about you
E
Thought I'd write a song about you
E
And dedicate it to you
E
Take a listen:

[Verse]
       E
If you didn't go back to school this year
       A
You're really not groovy
          B
Maybe you feel that school is a drag
              E
It just don't move ya
            E                               A
But did you ever think about how square you look standing
        B                                   E
In an employment line because school didn't interest you
E
You really ought to think about it
           E                       A
Without an education you could only be a tramp
   B                           E
Brogan shoes, no haircut, just plain ol' country
      E                              A
Don't worry 'bout the fellows on the co'ner calling you green
              B                       E
Because you're getting your future condition
E
You really ought to think about it
            E                  A
And further mo' tell them that Otis Redding said you're very wise
               B
Because you'll be at the top
          E                     A
When they get there and if they make it
          E                     A
When they get there and if they make it
          E                     A
When they get there and if they make it
     E              A             E
You really ought to think about it
A
Think about it
E               A
Really ought to think about it
