[Verse 1]
     A                           F#m
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
             Bm
And says his school is great
           E
I tell him right away 
    A                                  F#m
Now what's the matter buddy, ain't you heard of my school
            Bm                E  Esus4 E  E7
It's number one in the state, ah ah    ah ah


[Chorus] 
                   A
So be true to your school now
                              C#
Just like you would with your girl or guy 
                F#m
Be true to your school now
                    D7
And let your colors fly
B7                Bm      E  Esus4 E  E7
  Be true to your school, oh oh    oh oh


[Verse 2] 
        A                          F#m7
I got a letterman's sweater with a letter in front
          Bm
I got for football and track
Bm7           E
 I'm proud to wear it now
     A                         F#m7
When I cruise around the other parts of the town
        Bm            [ Bm7 E ]
I got a decal in back


[Chorus] 
Bm7    E            A
 So be true to your school now
                            C#
Just like you would to your girl or guy
                 F#m
Be true to your school now
                    D7
And let your colors fly
B7                Bm      E  Esus4 E  E7
  Be true to your school, oh oh    oh oh


[Verse 3] 
   A                                F#m7
On Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
            Bm
And I'll be ready to fight
Bm7          E
 We're gonna smash 'em now
   A                           F#m7
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
              Bm              [ Bm7 E ]
And she'll be yelling tonight


[Chorus]
Bm7    E            A
 So be true to your school now
                            C#
Just like you would to your girl or guy
                 F#m
Be true to your school now
                    D7
And let your colors fly
B7                Bm      E  Esus4 E  E7
  Be true to your school, oh oh    oh oh


[Outro]
A              F#m7
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Bm             E
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
A              F#m7
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Bm             E
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
