**Capo 4th fret** 
 
 
Intro: D  G  A/C#  G 
 
D                      G 
I watched him take the two strike call 
A/C#                 D 
He hadn't tried to swing at all 
G                 A/C# 
I guess he had all he could take 
G 
He walked away for goodness sake 
Em7                              A 
His father's voice was loud and mean 
Em7                      A 
You won't amount to anything 
 
Chorus 1: 
G                     D 
That little boy quit trying 
G                D 
He just walked away 
G                            A 
There were teardrops on his face 
G                  D            
Tell me how would you feel 
       G                Bm 
You'd probably give up too 
   Em7 D/F#  G    A    D    G  A/C#  G 
If nobody believed  in you 
 
 
D                  G 
That old man said one more try 
A/C#                D 
I know I'm not too old to drive 
G                  A/C# 
I promise son I'll do my best 
G 
This time I'm gonna pass the test 
Em7                           A 
Give me the keys dad and get in 
Em7                      A 
His father never drove again 
 
Chorus 2: 

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                    A 
We take His name out of the schools 
B/D#                 E 
And lawyers say it breaks the rules 
A                       B/D# 
The pledge of allegiance can't be read 
A 
And "under God" should not be said 
F#m7                       B 
I wonder how much He will take 
F#m7                       B 
I just pray it's not too late 
 
Chorus 3: 
A                 E 
What if God quit trying 
A                E 
He just turned away 
A                            B 
There were teardrops on His face 
A                  E            
Tell me how would you feel 
       A                C#m 
You'd probably give up too 
   F#m7 E/G#  A    B    E    A  B/D#  A 
If nobody believed  in you 
 
 
A                  E            
Tell me how would you feel 
       A                C#m 
You'd probably give up too 
   F#m7 E/G#  A    B    E    A  B/D#  A  E 
If nobody believed  in you
