THE BALLAD - Millencolin

- Tabbed By: Brent (XBInterceptor@aol.com)

I don't use an (e) string, so just guessing this is how the regular
chords would look. It sounds perfect to me without the (e) though...

                           G
The last selection in the ballgame.
 
      E     D     C                                G
Does never get a pass. Not appreciated's just his first name. 

          E        D       C
He's the scapegoat of the class. 

                                   G         E          D      C
There are no friends to cheer him up and no girls, no sweet romance. 
                
                    G                E           D         C
It's impossible to expand, when you never get a second chance.           G              E          D        C
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone? 

        G                E          D          C    (ring out)
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.                        G               E       D       C
He's not going to the school-prom. He said he had the flu. 

                          G
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom. 

      E     D         C
"I´m safer here with you."


She told her son. 

                   G       E            D       C
"Someday, they'll all be sorry for mistreating you.

                            G
Don't be afraid my son and trust me, 

            E                D         C
You'll be someone they will look up to."          G               E          D    C
Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone? 

        G                E            D          C 
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.
