Our Football Team Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Eaug]Our foot[F][C][F][A][Dm]
[G]ball teams are [C]strong
for [Bb]the same reason our [G]country is strong.
And do you know what that reason [C]is?
Well, this song tells you.
[G]Oh, what a foot[F]ball game [C]this is,
just [F]hear the [Dm]people roar.
With [G]just two minutes left [C]to play,
[Am]someone has tied the [G]score.
And for [F]the team that wins [C]this game,
a [F]flag will [Dm]be unfurled.
A [G]flag that should re[Am]mind us
of the [G]flags of all the [C]world.
The [Am]players are American,
as loyal as can be.
And [G]many came from [Em]par ents
[G]who were born across [D]the [G]sea,
which doesn't matter to [C]the ball
when [F]kicked to [Am]victory,
[Dm]and just[G] provides an[Abdim]
[Am]other lesson [G]in [C]geography.
[G]Some parent[C]s came from Hungary,
from [F]Poland and Romania,
from [C]Switzerland,
from [G]Portugal [Em]and [G]Spain,[D]
[G]from Aus[C]tria and Italy,
from [F]Greece and Lithuania,
From [G]Holland and from
France [C]and the Ukraine.
From [Am]England, Ireland, Germany,
they [C]sought our hospitality
and [Am]found a welcome on our
friendly [Em]shores.
From [Am]Fin land and Batavia,
Peru and [C]Scandinavia,
in [Am]millions they came through
our open [Em]doors[Baug].
[G]Their fat[C]herland and motherland
included [F]many other lands
before [C]through storm and
gale they [G]sailed away.
So, [C]on our team, we have their sons
to [F]kick the goals [F#dim]and make the runs,
and [C]that's what mat[G]ters in
[Ebdim]the USA.[G]
[Baug]From Paris, came[C] from Hungary,
from [F]Holland and Romania,
from [C]Switzerland,
from Portugal and [G]Spain.[D]
[G]From Aus[C]tria and Italy,
from [F]Greece and Lithuania,
from [G]Holland and from France
[C]and the Ukraine.[F]
[C]From Eng[Am]land, Ireland, Germany,
they [C]sought our hospitality,
and [Am]found a welcome on our
friendly [Em]shores.
From [Am]Finland and Octavia,
[C]Peru and Scandinavia,
in [Am]millions they came through
our open [Em]door [Baug]s.[G]
They [C]bought our lands and motherlands,
in[F]cluding many other lands,
be[C]fore through storm and
[F]gale they sailed [G]away.[D][G]
So [C]on a team we have the sons
to [F]keep the goals and [Ebdim]make the run,
[F#dim]and that's wh[C]at matters in the US[G]A.[C]
