(We, the undersigned, put forth his name)
[Verse 1]
F/A Bb F
Whereas Reggie Leach was born and played
Bbadd9 C F
Minor hockey back in my hometown
F/A Bb F
The Rifle fired his first five hundred here

And slapped his way into the NHL

Whereas some of us weren't always fair

F/A Bb F
Curled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls
Bbadd9 C (Dm)
Left a square of where they used to be
