G                                    C
When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
Dadd9                                G
I'm back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads
G                                 C
Standin' in the huddle, listenin' to the call
Dadd9                     G
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall

[Verse]
G                             C
They didn't let just anybody in that club
Dadd9                          G
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood
G                                     C
To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall
Dadd9                               G
Kings of the school man, we're the boys of fall

[Chorus]
C                                              
Well it's turn and face the stars and stripes,
G/B
It's fightin' back them butterflies
D
It's call it in the air alright
G
Yes sir, we want the ball
C
And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
      G/B
It's slingin' mud and dirt and grass
     D                                             G
It's I got your number, I got your back, when your back's against the wall
                  Am7             D
You mess with one man, you got us all,
            G
The boys of fall

[Solo]
G   C   Dadd9    G

[Verse]
G                                 C
In little towns like mine, that's all they got
Dadd9                         G
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops,
G                                  C
The old men will always think they know it all
Dadd9                            G
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall


[Chorus]
C                                              
Well it's turn and face the stars and stripes,

It's fightin' back them butterflies

It's call it in the air alright

Yes sir, we want the ball

And it's knockin' heads and talkin' trash
