The intro lick is [G] to [Cadd9], then suspended notes on the high [E] string in a [D] chord form, but don't
have your finger on the [G] string. Try it and see if you can figure out what I'm trying to explain
Intro: [G], [Cadd9] (riff) x4
([G]) ([Cadd9]) This city's looking like a ghost town
([G]) ([Cadd9]) All the stores downtown they've been closing down
([G]) ([Cadd9]) Yeah, the only lights that shine for miles
Are ([G]) lighting up the ([Cadd9]) sky above memorial drive
([G]) ([Cadd9]) If you want a seat you better come on down
([G]) ([Cadd9]) Cause when the band fires up that old glory sound
([G]) ([Cadd9]) This is the moment we've all been waiting for
([G]) Lining em ([Cadd9]) up, and the ([D]) whistle blows
Chorus:
([G]) This ain't no game around here
([Cadd9]) It's more like religion
([G]) We've built this thing right here
([Cadd9]) [A] football tradition
([G]) So everybody get up
([Cadd9]) And feast your eyes
On the ([Em7]) highlight of small town ([D]) life
It's Friday night
Intro again x2
([G]) ([C]) And winning state would be a miracle
([G]) ([C]) Man, we did it back in '54
([G]) ([C]) And if the baptist church prayed Sunday morning
We ([G]) might just stand a ([C]) chance with the ([D]) help of the Lord
Chorus:
([G]) This ain't no game around here
([Cadd9]) It's more like religion
([G]) We've built this thing right here
([Cadd9]) [A] football tradition
([G]) So everybody get up
([Cadd9]) And feast your eyes
On the ([Em7]) highlight of small town ([D]) life
It's Friday night
[G], [Cadd9] once
([Em7]) And now the ([D]) stadium's quiet
([Cadd9]) Standing here alone on this old ([D]) 50 yard line
If ([Em7]) I listen close I can ([D]) hear battle cries
Of ([Cadd9]) all the heroes come and gone before ([D]) I was alive
([Em7]) Memories of fourth and three
Now that ([D]) rival game is coming back to me
([Cadd9]) It meant more than a big state ring
If we could ([D]) do it again it'd never be the same
([Em7]) Remember the lights and the butterflies
([D]) Giving it all just one last time
Cause ([Cadd9]) heroes are remembered but ([D]) dragons never die
Chorus:
([G]) This ain't no game around here
([Cadd9]) It's more like religion
([G]) We've built this thing right here
([Cadd9]) [A] football tradition
([G]) So everybody get up
([Cadd9]) And feast your eyes
On the ([Em7]) highlight of small town ([D]) life
It's Friday night
Outro:
[G], [Cadd9] x2
Come on
[G], [Cadd9] x2 and let the [C] ring on the last hit
