There's a man they call The Skipper fast asleep

                     E*
And dreaming of gold

He wakes before the sun does

He does it for me and you

        A                         C
And the red and the white and the blue

Because he knows he's got to

Though the coffee's warm, their breath hangs in the air

                E
They hit the ice

E                 Emaj7
No one's there to see it

           E7                               Amaj7 Am/F#
There's no press or paparazzi and that's OK
[Pre-chorus]

That they've all been working hard

Pushing these rocks around

Trying to gain some ground

And all they got to do is

Their lives outside are waiting

But they give until they've given all they have

                  E
Dead on their feet

The Skipper isn't certain

And they bring that medal home

C#m                A
Now it seems years away

     F#
He's taking it day by day

        A                       C
When it comes he'll be ready to play

Because he knows he's got to
