Snare Drum

G                         C      
The morning bus will come to take
                   G
 you down
Em               C               
The country road to the farthest 
         G
side of town
Em               C            G
Later on the field behind the school
 it will be bright
Em                              C
When you play a snare drum solo 
                      G
in the Friday football light


G                             C  
The station on the corner has 
                 G
fired another clerk
Em                           
But the strike is over and the 
  C                        G
teachers are back to work
Em                    C          
The boy next door has gone to 
              G
war, he's the next in a five year 
fight
Em                                
And you'll play a snare drum solo 
       C                    G
in the Friday football light


Chorus
Em                      C
Little man, little man
G                      D
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
Em                 C             
Oh, no one is sure what we'll be 
G                D
fighting for next
Em                     C
Little boy, little boy

G                     D
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?


Em                 C             

               G                D

        G                    C    
With hair like that you know 
                     G
nobody can see your eyes
Em                                
You've heard it from your mother 
  C                        G
if once, than a thousand times
Em               C               
You like it long, freedom belongs
         G
 to the red, the blue, the white
                  Em               
And you'll play a snare drum solo 
C                        G
in the Friday football light


        G                C        
The jokes you hear, well who knows
                 G
 what they mean?
              Em               C  
There are the kids at school and 
                      G
the kids behind the screen
Em                    C          
At home at night your parents 
              G
fight and while neither one is right
              Em               C  
You'll play a snare drum solo in 
                      G
the Friday football light


Chorus
Em                      C
Little man, little man
G                      D
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
Em                 C             
Oh, no one is sure what we'll be 
G                D
fighting for next
Em                     C
Little boy, little boy
G                     D
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?

Em                 C

   G                C        
Do you know who you are or how 
              G
you'll know?
Em               C         
You lay in bed last night and 
               G
listened for the season's first snow
Em               C               
Upon the roof you'll tell the 
         G
truth someday, but for tonight
              Em                   
You'll play a snare drum solo in 
  C                        G
the Friday football light
              Em                   
You'll play a snare drum solo in 
  C                        G
the Friday football light
