(D) Out after school, back on ice, (G) That was his life, he was gonna play in the (D)
league,
(C) aaah (G) ooh The (D) big league
(D) Not many ways out of this cold northern town, You (C) work in the mill and (G) get
in the ground
(D) If you're gonna jump it will be with the game, (C) Real fast and tough is the (G)
clear lane to the
(D) big league (C) aah (G) ooh
Chorus:
(D) My boy's gonna play in the big league, (C) My boy's gonna (G) turn some heads
(D) My boy's gonna play in the big league, (C) My boy's gonna (G) knock 'em dead (C) (G)
The (D) big league
(D) All the right moves when he turned eighteen, (G) Scholarship and school on a big
team
(D) Out with his girl near Lake McClean, Hit a (G) truck doing seventy in the wrong lane,
To the (D) big league (C) aaah (G) ooh
(Repeat Chorus)
(C) Never can tell what might come down, (D) Never can tell how much you get
(C) Just don't know, no you never can tell (G) ....(D)
(D) Sometimes at night I can hear the ice crack, It (G) sounds like thunder and it rips
my back
(D) Sometimes in the morning I still hear the sound, (G) Ice meets metal...
"Can't you drive me down to the (D) big league?" (C) aah (G) aaah
(Repeat Chorus)
(D) Never can tell what might come down, (C) Never can tell when you (G) might check out
(D) Just don't know, no you never can tell, So (C) do right to others like you (G) do to yourself
In the (D) big league
(D) My boy's gonna play in the big league, (C) aaah (G) aaah (D) big league
(C) aaah (G) aaah (D) big league
