(Or Capo 2 and play D for E, A for B, G for A and Bm for C#m)



     E                              B         E
Some say he's a ninja, rumor has it he's Superman
            A                                                  E
Hes got the heart of a lion, still he's as gentle as old Peter Pan
        A                                     E                      C#m
All you Hatfields better beware, I heard he's stronger than a Kodiak bear
               A                                   B 
He's your real deal, he's no decoy, he's still his mama's little pride and joy



Chorus:
          E                 B                   E
Hey, when I grow up I wanna be just like Colt McCoy
         A                                      E
He's the true gun-slinging inspiration to every small town country boy
          A                                          E                           C#m
Have cool friends like Jordan Shipley, have no-named singers singin' songs about me
            E             B                E
When I grow up I wanna be just like Colt McCoy


         C#m                                         E 
Now Everybody and their dog is doggin' on the little quarterback from Jim Ned
    C#m                              E
Too short too slow and way too skinny is what the headlines read
      A                                          E                   C#m
So he hit the weights, protein shakes and lord behold, he started to grow
         A                                                             B
Now he's gettin' sick and tired of people getting fired up for rubbing elbows with Tim Tebow


Chorus


Bridge:
C#m
?
        E  
There's a new sheriff in town
        A
Shaking hands and kissing babies
             B
And throwing laser beam touchdowns (spoken - we thought you'd think that was stupid)


Chorus
