[Intro]
 
A5  G5  x4
 
G5
 
 
[Verse 1]
A5      G5              A5 G5              A5
At home drawing pictures   of mountain tops,
G5          A5 G5             A5
with him on top, lemon yellow sun
G5   A5         G5
Arms raised in a V,
A5           G5     A5       G5            A5
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G5           A5     G5         A5 G6
Daddy didn't give attention, oh
       A5     G5              A5 G5
to the fact that mommy didn't care
A5      G5         A5 G5
King Jeremy the wicked,
A5
oh ruled his world
 
 
[Chorus]
F               Dm  Em7  A5
Jeremy spoke in class today
F               Dm  Em7  A5
Jeremy spoke in class today
 
 
[Verse 2]
G5            A5   G5             A5 G5                   A5        G5
Clearly I remember picking on the boy, seemed a harmless little fuck
A5      G5             A5 G5   A5                          G5                   A5
Uhh but we unleashed a lion, gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
G5            A5 G5                       A5    G5
How can I forget, and he hit me with a surprise left
A5        G5              A5 G5               A5  G5
   mmm my jaw left hurting,  oh dropped wide open
              A5 G5    A5
just like the day,  oh like the day I heard
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
G5           A5     G5         A5 G5             A5        G5                  A5 G5
Daddy didn't give affection, no, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
A5      G5       A5 G5  A5
King Jeremy the wicked, oh ruled his world
 
 
[Chorus]
F               Dm  Em7  A5
Jeremy spoke in class today
F               Dm  Em7  A5
Jeremy spoke in class today
F               Dm  Em7  A5
Jeremy spoke in class today

[Bridge]
       A5           G5
Try to forget this, try
          A5    G5
to forget this, try
     A5        G5
to erase this, try
   A5
to erase this
G5              F  Dm  A5  G5
from the black board
