HARD CALL TO MAKE

J. Michael Harter

Capo II Fret

Intro

The um(A)pire got (D) sick, so (A) he thought he'd (D) give it a (G) try

So, (A) there was my (D) dad, (A) callin' them (D) balls and (G) strikes

(A) I can still hear the crack of that bat

(G) Never got a hold of one like that

I was (A) roundin' 2nd, when the 3rd base coach

(G) Took a big chance and waved me home

I'm (D) pretty sure the (A/C#) ball touched me

Be(Bm)fore I (A) touched the (G) plate

But, when it's your (D) dad

That's a (A) hard call (D) to make

For the (A) most (D) part, (A) I think I (D) made him (G) proud

But there was (A) one (D) night, (A) I know I (D) let him (G) down

I had (A) known them boys all my life

(G) Shoulda known better than to take that ride

The (A) county sheriff was a friend of his

(G) Said that's why he was bringin' me in

He handed (D) me the phone, said (A/C#) "Sorry son

Every(Bm)body (A) makes mis(G)takes"

But when it's your (D) dad

That's a (A) hard call (D) to make

(G) It's not as easy as wrong or right

(D) It ain't always black and white

(F#m) Life's a thousand shades of gray (A)

(A) He had a (D) plan for (A) just about (D) every(G)thing

(A) He made it (D) known that (A) if this day (D) ever (G) came

(A) That he had lived a good long life

And (G) he had always fought a good fight

So (A) when the doctor said, "it's up to you"

(G) I knew what I had to do

They handed (D) me the form, I (A/C#) picked up the pen

My (Bm) hand began to (G) shake

Cause when it's your (D) dad

That's a (A) hard call to make

(G) It's not as easy as wrong or right

(D) It ain't always black and white

(F#m) Life's a thousand shades of gray (A)

I'm pretty sure this is accurate
