Bleachers Chords by Merle Haggard

[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ All the wrong plays I've made have [F] come back on my head
[C] And I'm kind [G] of bald [C] in the front
I _ can't get the team to [F] the goal line no more
[C] So I think I'll [G] just stand back [C] and punt
_ _ Football and [A] poker's a [F] whole lot like life
[C] And I'm [G] like the player [C] that's through
_ Think I'll cash in my [F] winnings and walk off the green
[C] Come sled in [Em] the [C] bleachers with you
_ [F] The grandstand of life ain't no place for a wife
To [C] be sitting [G] and sweating [C] alone
_ [F] Can't be no pinch hitter, [C] but I'm not a quitter
These [Em] are just thoughts [C] of my own
I'm so glad you came [F] to see my last game
[C] You're the one [G] fan who cares [C] how I do
_ Think I'll turn in my jersey [F] and walk off the field
[C] Come sled in [G] the [C] bleachers with you
There's a time when a winner [F] must give up his chair
[C] Throw [G] in a hand [C] when it's bad
_ _ Football and [F] poker's both played on the green
[C] But there's three [G] shades of green [C] and I'm glad
The roar of the crowd [F] don't thrill me enough
[C] My days [G] in the big [C] time are through
Think I'll cash in my [F] winnings and walk off the green
[C] Come sled in [G] the [C] bleachers with you _ _ _ _
