Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C]It was [G]just like strapping

[Verse 1]
'em on
and starting [C]again,[G][C]
[G]Coaching these kids to the top,
and calling them [Am]men.[D]
I was [F]a third round pick in the NHL
And that's [Am]three years of living in hell,
And going up [G]fly[D]ing,
and going home [Am]dy in[D]g.[Bm][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[C]My lif[G]e was over the boards
and playing [C]the [G]game,
[C]And eve[G]ry day checking the
papers and finding my [Am]name.
[D]My [F]dad would go crazy when
the scouts would call;
He'd [Am]tell me that I'd have it all
Ninety nine of us [G]trying,
[D]only one of us fly[C] in[Am]g.[Bm][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
And [C]every kid over the boards
listens [D]for [G]the sound;
[C]The roar of the crowd is their ticket
for [D]finally [G]leaving this [D]town
To be just [G]one more hopeful
in the Junior A,
[C]Dreaming of that [G]miracle [C]play,
And [D]going up [G]flying,
[D]going home dy [Am]ing.[Bm]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]I t[G]ell them to think of the play
and not of [C]the [G]fame.
[C]If they've [G]got any future at all,
it's not in [C]the [Am]game.[D]
'Cause they'll [F]be crippled and
starting all over again
[Am]Selling on commissions
and remembering
When they were [G]fly[D] ing,
remembering [C]dy [Am]ing.[G]

[Verse 5]
And [C]every kid over the boards
listens [D]for [G]the sound;
The [C]roar of the crowd is their ticket
for [D]finally [G]leaving this [D]town
To be just [G]one more [Am]hopeful [Bm]in t[C]he[G][C][D][G][D][C]
[Am][G][C][D][G][C][D]
[G]Jun[D]ior[C] A,[D][G][Am][G]
[C]Dreaming of that [G]miracle [C]play,
And [D]going up [G]flying,
[D]going home dy [C]ing[Bm].[D]
