For the Winston Salem Warthogs

In the Carolina league
 G
I'm thirty-four years old
   C                 G
My playing days are numbered
   C                G
I can't control my curve ball
   D                    G
My fastball's lost some speed

Verse:
G
I've been knockin' around in the minors
C                   G
Since I got out of high school
  C                    G                D
I signed my first pro contract on my seventeenth birthday
   G                           C               G
Burlington to Birmingham, to Charlotte I've travelled
    C                    G           D            G
But the White Sox never called and I stalled in triple A

Chorus:
 C      D        G
But I love this game
 C     D        G
God I love this game
 C             D
Maybe I should quit
G       Em
That's a hard thing to admit
 C        D        G
'Cause I love this game

Verse:
   G
I won fourteen games one year
   C                  G
I lead the league in shut-outs
   C                      G       D
Several of the pro scouts told me I was on my way
   G                          C                G
I hurt my arm in Lynchburg, they said it was a pinched nerve
  C                G      D                      G
I swear ever since sir, it ain't never been the same

Chorus:
 C      D       G
But I love this game
 C     D        G
God I love this game
 C             D
May be time to quit
 G             Em
That's hard to admit
  C       D        G
'Cause I love this game

Post-Chorus:
  C           D
Maybe time to quit
G                Em
That's a hard to admit
 C        D         G
'Cause I love this Game
