Intro: D G A/C# G
[D]I watched him take the [G]two strike call
[A/C#]He hadn't tried to sw[D]ing at all
[G]I guess he had all[A/C#] he could take
[G]He walked away for goodness sake
[Em7]His father's voice was loud and m[A]ean
[Em7]You won't amount to anyth[A]ing
(Chorus:)
[G]That little boy quit t[D]rying
[G]He just walked aw[D]ay
[G]There were teardrops on his f[A]ace
[G]Tell me how would y[D]ou feel
You'd p[G]robably give up t[Bm]oo
If [Em7]nobo[D/F#]dy bel[G]ieved[A] in [D]you[G][A/C#][G]
[D]That old man said o[G]ne more try
[A/C#]I know I'm not too o[D]ld to drive
[G]I promise son I'll [A/C#]do my best
[G]This time I'm gonna pass the test
[Em7]Give me the keys dad and get i[A]n
[Em7]His father never drove ag[A]ain
(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
[E]We take His name out [A]of the schools
[B/D#]And lawyers say it br[E]eaks the rules
[A]The pledge of allegiance[B/D#] can't be read
[A]And "under God" should not be said
[F#m7]I wonder how much He will t[B]ake
[F#m7]I just pray it's not too la[B]te
(Chorus:)
[A]What if God quit t[E]rying
