The Ballad

                          G
The last selection in the ballgame,
     Em     D    C
Does never get a pass.
                              G
"Not appreciated´s" just his first name.
          Em        D      C
He´s the scapegoat of the class
                                  G
There are no friends to cheer him up and
     Em      D        C
no girls, no sweet romance.
                        G
And it´s impossible to expand,
         Em          D      C
when you never got a second chance.
        G                Em        D     C
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
        G             Em            D            C
Do you care enough to see? He´s in pain and misery
                        G
He´s not going to the school-prom.
    Em      D       C
He said he had the flue.
                          G
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom.
     Em     D        C
-I´m safer here with you.
                                     G
She told her son. -Some day they´ll all be
Em             D       C
sorry for mistreating you.
                            G
Don´t be afraid my son and trust me,
           Em                D       C
-You´ll be someone they will look up to.
        G                Em        D     C
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
        G             Em            D            C
Do you care enough to see? He´s in pain and misery
