As recorded by Corey Smith (2023 release) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Its like an August afternoon

G
The calm before the chaos comes

G
A rumble in the distance

G
Well before the clouds appear

G
It's what everybody's talkin' 'bout

G
Can't wait to see 'em storming out

                          Em
And thundering across the fields

G
It's almost electric

G
You can feel it in the air down here
[Chorus]
G                        Em
Let's play some football boys

D               G
Let's play some football boys
[Verse 2]
G
There's a pounding in our chests

G
And a bad blood pumping through our veins

G
Old wounds are feeling fresh

G
Aching just enough to make us mean

G
The grudge we volunteer to hold

G
Is icy hot and fiery cold

                                     Em
And we'll carry it as long as we can breathe

   G
It hurts us and it heals us

       D                     G
It's a friend and its the enemy
[Chorus]
G                        Em
Let's play some football boys

D                        G
Let's play some football boys

G
This ain't a practice anymore

Em
Lets get to settling the score

D                        G
Let's play some football boys
[Bridge]
          Am                     G
Turn your amplifier on, crank it all the way to ten

C                                         G
Make 'em dread the day they've gotta come play us again

Am                               G
It ain't life or death. It ain't marching into war.

          C                  D
But you'd better get the metaphor

                   G
Lets play some football boys
[Guitar Solo] Em D G Em D G [Out-Chorus]
G                        Em
Let's play some football boys

D                        G
Let's play some football boys

G
This ain't a practice anymore

Em
Lets get to settling the score

D                 G
And play some football boys

                         Em
This ain't a practice anymore

Em
Lets get to settling the score

D                   G
Let's play some football boys
