G5                         C5                         G5
The morning bus will come to take you down
E5               C5                        G5
The country road to the farthest side of town
E5               C5            G5
Later on the field behind the school it will be bright
E5                              C5                      G5
When you play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light


G5                             C5                   G5
The station on the corner has fired another clerk
E5                             C5                        G5
But the strike is over and the teachers are back to work
E5                    C5                        G5
The boy next door has gone to war, he's the next in a five year fight
E5                                       C5                    G5
And you'll play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light


Chorus
E5                      C5
Little man, little man
G5                      D5
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
E5                 C5             G5                D5
Oh, no one is sure what we'll be fighting for next
E5                     C5
Little boy, little boy
G5                     D5
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?


E5                 C5                            G5                D5

D5


        G5                    C5                         G5
With hair like that you know nobody can see your eyes
E5                                  C5                        G5
You've heard it from your mother if once, than a thousand times
E5               C5                        G5
You like it long, freedom belongs to the red, the blue, the white
                  E5               C5                        G5
And you'll play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light


        G5                C5                         G5
The jokes you hear, well who knows what they mean?
              E5               C5                        G5
There are the kids at school and the kids behind the screen
E5                    C5                        G5
At home at night your parents fight and while neither one is right
              E5               C5                        G5
You'll play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light


Chorus
E5                      C5
Little man, little man
G5                      D5
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
E5                 C5             G5                D5
Oh, no one is sure what we'll be fighting for next
E5                     C5
Little boy, little boy
G5                     D5
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?

E5                 C5                            G5                D5

D5

   G5                C5                      G5
Do you know who you are or how you'll know?
E5               C5                        G5
You lay in bed last night and listened for the season's first snow
E5               C5                        G5
Upon the roof you'll tell the truth someday, but for tonight
              E5                     C5                        G5
You'll play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light
              E5                     C5                        G5
You'll play a snare drum solo in the Friday football light
