King Wes - Second String guitar chord

Second String

Wes King

E A E A E

Eighth grade, Away football game

A E

There's a chill in the air, Mouthpieces and Gatorade

A B7

My girlfriend's a cheerleader, I'm infatuated with the girl

A E

With the game

A E A E

My shoulderpads are too small, My helmet's way too big

A E

My uniform's too clean, I haven't touched the ball

A

She's watching me again, O God

B7

Please make the coach put me in

Chorus:

A E A E B7

I know what it feels like to be second string

A E A E B7

I know what it feels like to just sit on the bench

C#m7

And watch your friends play, and wonder why you're even on the team

A B7 E A E

I know second string

A E A E

First date, I just got my driver's license

A E

There's fog on the road, we're lost and really late

A B7

Driving Mama's car, the wrong way on an exit ramp

Chorus

E A E A E

Long time ago, there was a shepard boy

A E

He tended his sheep, he was of Jesse's line

A B7 A E

There was a war going on, when he got drafted by the Lord

A E A E

His shoulder bones were too small, his suit of armor to big

A E

His sword was way too heavy, still he heeded the call

A B7

Armed with his faith, five stones and a sling shot

Chorus
