Intro: D G A/C# G
DG
I watched him take the two strike call
A/C#D
He hadn't tried to swing at all
GA/C#
I guess he had all he could take
G
He walked away for goodness sake
Em7A
His father's voice was loud and mean
Em7A
You won't amount to anything
(Chorus:)
GD
That little boy quit trying
GD
He just walked away
GA
There were teardrops on his face
GD
Tell me how would you feel
GBm
You'd probably give up too
Em7D/F#GADG/C#
If nobody believed in you
DG
That old man said one more try
A/C#D
I know I'm not too old to drive
GA/C#
I promise son I'll do my best
G
This time I'm gonna pass the test
Em7A
Give me the keys dad and get in
Em7A
His father never drove again
(Chorus:)
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
EA
We take His name out of the schools
B/D#E
And lawyers say it breaks the rules
AB/D#
The pledge of allegiance can't be read
A
And "under God" should not be said
F#m7B
I wonder how much He will take
F#m7B
I just pray it's not too late
(Chorus:)
AE
What if God quit trying
AE
He just turned away
AB
There were teardrops on His face
AE
Tell me how would you feel
AC#m
You'd probably give up too
F#m7E/G#ABEA/D#
If nobody believed in you
AE
Tell me how would you feel
AC#m
You'd probably give up too
F#m7E/G#ABEE/D#
If nobody believed in you
