[Verse 1]
 E 
Since we could crawl,
           B 
our family studied it all.
 F#m 
Even though small,
         A     NC                   B 
we understood what we were learning.
 E 
Father would read to me
   B 
before I would sleep.
 F#m 
Now I am taller,
             A     NC              B 
I still keep up with that routine.
 C#m 
And when I’m by myself,
  F# 
I take that book down off the shelf.
    A 
I remember what the scripture said
                                   B 
that I would need so I could stand firm.

[Chorus]
                 E 
Study makes you strong.
                                     B 
Just like a tree that’s planted by a river stream.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                        F#m       B 
Your leaves just won’t dry out and everything succeeds.
                 E 
Study makes you strong.
                                    B 
Just like a tree that’s planted its roots down deep.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                            F#m       B 
You’ll grow so big and tall there’s nothing you won’t see.

[Verse 2]
 E 
What will I say
             B 
when a big chance comes my way?
 F#m 
What will my classmates say
     A    NC                   B 
if I don’t follow with them?
 E 
All of the information's
 B 
here on display.
 F#m 
I’m not afraid because
  A     NC                    B 
I learned this as an infant.
 C#m 
‘Cause when I’m by myself,
  F# 
I take that book down off the shelf.
    A 
I remember what the scripture said
                                 B 
that I would need so I can stand firm.

[Chorus]
                E 
Study makes you strong.
                                     B 
Just like a tree that’s planted by a river stream.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                        F#m       B 
Your leaves just won’t dry out and everything succeeds.
                 E 
Study makes you strong.
                                    B 
Just like a tree that’s planted its roots down deep.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                            F#m       B 
You’ll grow so big and tall there’s nothing you won’t see.

[Bridge]
 C#m   F#          B7      E 
Every word that’s helping me,
 C#m      F#       B7   E 
Could contain the very key.
 F#m                          A                    B     G# 
To offer just the help and encouragement somebody needs.

[Break]
                 C#             G# 
Study makes you strong…
                 D#m        F#  G# 
Study makes you strong.
                  E             B 
Study makes you strong…
                  F#m       A   B 
Study makes you strong.

[Chorus]
                E 
Study makes you strong.
                                     B 
Just like a tree that’s planted by a river stream.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                        F#m       B 
Your leaves just won’t dry out and everything succeeds.
                 E 
Study makes you strong.
                                    B 
Just like a tree that’s planted its roots down deep.
                 A 
Study makes you strong.
                                            F#m       B      E 
You’ll grow so big and tall there’s nothing you won’t see.
