Baseball Cap

B                        D                       B
Oh, snap, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor,
                 A            F#
I think I took a bruise to my jaw,
B                              D
Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four,
B                     A       F#
I'll never see my hat no more.

[Chorus]
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.

[Verse]
B                      D
Fourteen years old and hard through the core,
    B                   A         F#
I'm walking home making plans for war,
         B                 D
My hands was cut, my uncle says 'what's up? '
       B                            A                   F#
Let me guess, your clothes are in a mess, you're in distress,
    B                          D
Sit down, take five and let me look at your knee,
            B         A              F#
Your still alive son, please take it easy
    B                               D
Sometimes you have to let the world know you ain't bluffing,
      B                                A         F#
But enough is enough, don't loose your life over nothing,
B                             D
Scuffling in the street is no way to die,
      B                               A           F#
And I don't want to have to meet your mama's eye,
   B                              D
So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap
   B                 A             F#
Of making war over a baseball cap.

[Chorus]
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.

[Bridge]
      B                           D
I sat back, had a think, my uncle poured a drink
             B             A          F#
Had a little cry, my eyes, started to blink
            B                            D
'Cause what occurred from these words to me sounds absurd
      B                     A         F#
But I heard the love in his voice for me
         B                    D
I made a choice, it was like 'Snap'
         B                        A         F#
What's a cap when I got something real like that?
      B                       D
I can measure it, treasure it, and at my leisure
    B                            A       F#
Sit down with those who mean the most to me
             B                       D
The Baseball Cap was a ghost this is real to me
         B             A       F#
'You got steel son' My uncle's talking
B                   D
Takes a champion to walk and keep walking
B                         A          F#
Drink your drink, let the words sink in
        B                    D
Say goodnight to your ma and think again
      B                A           F#
So I, took my fourteen years up to bed
B                         D
Everything he said taking root in my head
       B                       A        F#
I shed all my tears and let my fourteen years
Relax

[Chorus]
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.
B   D      B                      A     F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
     B           D             B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
        A      F#
I can't get it back.
