 Subject: James Otto -- The Ball Chords
 Capo 6th fret for recording
 No Intro
      C   
 If I hadn't dropped the ball
              G
 I would have took it all the way
 Am7
 Homecoming '89
 F                        G
 With ten seconds left to play
 C          
 We were driving towards the goal line
           G
 They were screaming in the stands
 Am7
 I had the chance to be a hero
 F                               G
 But it slipped right through my hands
                  Dm
 There would have been a big pep rally
 C                       G             F
 They would have hung my jersey on the wall
 G    F                  C
 If I hadn't dropped the ball
 
 Me and Sandy Miller
 Were s'posed to meet after the game
 I waited by the bleachers
 But she never came
 I found a note on my windshield
 Underneath the wiper blade
 With "goodbye" bleeding through it
 In the cold October rain
 We probably would've gotten married
 And those recruiters in from 'Bama would have called
 If I hadn't dropped the ball
 
    F
 My life would have been different
            Am7                                 C
 If in that instant, things have gone the way I planned
         F
 But the fact is that they didn't
         Am7             C
 And the hand I wound up given
    Dm                  G
 Is one that I'll never understand
 
 I ran away that summer
 Took a job out on the coast
 And that's where I met your momma
 And the rest, I guess you know
 If I had the chance to go back
 And score that last touchdown
 Well, son, I wouldn't do it
 'Cause you wouldn't be here now
 And I wouldn't be your hero
 I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall
 If I hadn't dropped the ball
 
 My life would have been so different
 If in that instant, things have gone the way I planned
 But the fact is that they didn't
 And the hand I wound up given
 Is the one that God intended me to have
 
       F               Am7         F
 No, I wouldn't be the man I am at all
             G (stop)       C
 If I hadn't dropped... the ball
 
 
 Outro: C (string by string, don't strum)
