NOTES: throughout the song, the chords are often played as three-note arpeggios, picking the root, fifth, and octave notes of the chord. however, this varies from part to part, so use your own judgment when playing. As for the solo, listen to the song to get the timing right.
C Em
Don't bother going to class
F C
'Cuz nobody cares if you cut
F C
And it's not smart to experiment
F G
With Ben Gay on your nuts
C Em
If you ask her out and she says "maybe"
F C
What she really means is "no way"
F C
And if you try jerking off behind the backstop
F G
The team will be playing that day
OH GOD!
F C Em
These are the things
Am G
I wish I knew
F G
These are the things I wish
C
I knew in high school
Em F G
Yeah, these are the things
(guitar tacit) C
I wish I knew in high school
Don't call the head jock a fag
Even if it's true
And don't hold out for that one special girl
'Cuz she'll never have sex with you
CHORUS
These are the things
(guitar tacit) Am (solo begins)
I wish I knew in High School
Solo Riff:

No matter how it hurts

CHORUS (end on a C)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NERF HERDER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
