The Old Playground

G F G F

[Verse 1]
C              G         Em     
Walking on the sidewalk, 
           D
roundball under my arm
C          G            Em      
Everybody knows how you play is 
      D      C
who you are
C                G     Em       
Walking down the road, looking 
             D
for a game or two
C              G             Em 
The real moves come through, no 
                          D
matter what they're gonna do
     G
It's down to you


[Chorus]
G              D        Em
Take me to the old playground
C                        F
Where the old ones rule, and the 
young ones do their time
G              D        Em
Take me to the old playground
C
Where the talk is cheap
F                               G
And the restless stalk that baseline

[Verse 2]
C            G       Em         
The old sage frowns, he says 
             D
just pass it on around
C             G                
But all-world junior's pulling 
Em           D   C
up from downtown
C               G            Em 
For some it's a way out, for 
             D
some it's a way in
C          G
Most of us don't even care
Em                     D
We're just looking for another gym 
to get in


[Chorus]
G              D        Em
Take me to the old playground
C                        F
Where the old ones rule, and the 
young ones do their time
G              D        Em
Take me to the old playground
C
Where some play from dreams
F
And the rest just play for pride

[Bridge]
D                                 
The old man said stop running with
      C
 those boys
D                                 
But they know what to do and their
       C
 folks don't mind the noise
D                                 
Say hey now, everybody's gonna get 
C
along
D                              
Just call your own foul when you 
      C
break the rules
                           D
If you make it you take it, so make 
your move


[Chorus]
G              D       Em
Take me to the old playground
C                        F
Where the old ones rule, and the 
young ones do their time
G              D       Em
Take me to the old playground
C
Where the talk is cheap
F                           G
And the restless stalk that baseline
