Song: The Ball Tab

Capo 6
No intro 
  C G 
If I    hadn't dropped the ball, I would have   took it all the way 
  C G  
We were   driving toward the goal line, they were  screaming in the stands 
  Am7 F G 
I had the   chance to be a hero, but it   slipped right through my  hands 
  Dm C G F 
There would have   been a big pep rally, they would have   hung my   jersey on the   wall [G} 
  F C 
If I   hadn't dropped the   ball 
  C G 
Well,   me and Sandy Miller were s'posed to   meet after the game 
  Am7 F G 
I   waited by the bleachers,   but she never   came 
  C G 
I found a   note on my windshield under neath the wiper blade 
  Am7 F G 
With  "goodbye" bleeding through it in the   cold October  rain 
  Dm C G F G 
We probably   would've gotten married, and those   recruiters in from   'Bama would have  called    
  F C 
If I   hadn't dropped the   ball 
  F 
Life   would have been so different 
  Am7 
If in that   instant, things had gone the way I [C} planned 
  F 
But the   fact is that they didn't 
  Am7 
And the   hand I wound up given 
  Dm G 
Is   something that I'll never under stand 

(Small pause, no guitar) 
  C G 
I   ran away that summer, took a   job out on the coast 
  Am7 F G 
And that's   where I met your mama, and the   rest, I guess you   know 
  C G 
If I   had the chance to go back and   score that last touchdown 
  Am7 F G 
Well,   son, I wouldn't do it 'cause you   wouldn't be here   now 
  Dm C G F G 
And I   wouldn't be your hero, I wouldn't   be around to   catch you when you   fall    
  F C 
If I   hadn't dropped the   ball 
  F 
Life   would have been so different 
  Am7 
If in that   instant, things had gone the way I [C} planned 
  F 
But the   fact is that they didn't 
  Am7 
And the   hand I wound up given 
  Dm G 
Is the   one that God intended me to   have 
  F Am7 
No, I   wouldn't be the   man I am at [F} all 
  G C 
If I   hadn't dropped the   ball 
Outro 
C (single strum)
