Intro RE SOL LA/DO# SOL
RE SOL
I watched him take the two strike call

He hadn't tried to swing at all

I guess he had all he could take

He walked away for goodness sake

His father's voice was loud and mean
MIm7 LA
You won't amount to anything
Chorus 1
SOL RE
That little boy quit trying
SOL RE
He just walked away
SOL LA
There were teardrops on his face
SOL RE
Tell me how would you feel
SOL SIm
You'd probably give up too
MIm7 RE/FA# SOL LA RE SOL LA/DO# SOL
If nobody believed in you

That old man said one more try

This time I'm gonna pass the test

Give me the keys dad and get in
MIm7 LA
His father never drove again
Chorus 2
That old man quit trying
He just turned away
There were teardrops on his face
Tell me how would you feel
You'd probably give up too
If nobody believed in you

We take His name out of the schools

And lawyers say it breaks the rules

I just pray it's not too late
