[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Its like an August afternoon
G
The calm before the chaos comes
G
A rumble in the distance
G
Well before the clouds appear
G
It's what everybody's talkin' 'bout
G
Can't wait to see 'em storming out
Em
And thundering across the fields
G
It's almost electric
G
You can feel it in the air down here
[Chorus]
G Em
Let's play some football boys
D G
Let's play some football boys
[Verse 2]
G
There's a pounding in our chests
G
And a bad blood pumping through our veins
G
Old wounds are feeling fresh
G
Aching just enough to make us mean
G
The grudge we volunteer to hold
G
Is icy hot and fiery cold
Em
And we'll carry it as long as we can breathe
G
It hurts us and it heals us
D G
It's a friend and its the enemy
[Chorus]
G Em
Let's play some football boys
D G
Let's play some football boys
G
This ain't a practice anymore
Em
Lets get to settling the score
D G
Let's play some football boys
[Bridge]
Am G
Turn your amplifier on, crank it all the way to ten
C G
Make 'em dread the day they've gotta come play us again
Am G
It ain't life or death. It ain't marching into war.
C D
But you'd better get the metaphor
G
Lets play some football boys
[Guitar Solo]
Em D G Em D G
[Out-Chorus]
G Em
Let's play some football boys
D G
Let's play some football boys
G
This ain't a practice anymore
Em
Lets get to settling the score
D G
And play some football boys
Em
This ain't a practice anymore
Em
Lets get to settling the score
D G
Let's play some football boys
