D Dsus2 D D Dsus2 D A D
[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 D
Got an itch that needs scratchin’
D Dsus4 D
So I get to packin’

My paddle, a ball and some

water to drink.
A Asus4 A
I drive to the club lot
A Asus4 A
Pull into my spot
A
Go out on the court and warm
D D7
up with some dinks.
[Chorus 1]
G A
Wasting the day away just
D D7
playin’ pickleball
G A
My favorite phrase - zero zero
D D7
start.
G A
Well he’s got the nerve to put
D A G
Spin on his serve
A D
That’s okay - it ain’t hit that hard
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D
A return from a banger
D Dsus4 D
Is struck with some anger
D
That ball must be doin’
A Asus4 A
Eighty miles an hour.
A Asus4 A
I turn and let it fly
A Asus4 A
It’s comin’ in chest high
A
I score a point when it lands
D D7
out of bounds.
[Chorus 2]
G A
Wasting the day away just
D D7
playing pickleball
G A D D7
My opponents are up at the net
G A
So I hit a lob hoping
D A G
It’ll do the job
A
But I don’t know -
D
It ain’t come down yet.
[Verse 3]
D Dsus4 D
I’m all out of power
D Dsus4 D
We’ve played for 3 hours
D
I won’t tell the guys but my arm’s
A Asus4 A
getting sore
A Asus4 A
Without hesitation
A Asus4 A
To the invitation
A
I tell them I’ll stay and I’ll play
D D7
Just one more
[Chorus 3]
G A
Wasting the day away just
D D7
playing pickleball
G A
Stayin’ out of the kitchen
D D7
Cause that is a fault
G A
If I had my way I would
D A G
play all day
A D
We’ll at least - until my wife calls
D7
Yes and
G A
If I had my way I would
D A G
never go home
A
We’ll, goodbye my wife’s on the
D Dsus2 D D Dsus2 D A D A D
phone.
