              G                C                G              C
He's just the blind man in the bleachers to the local hometown fans
       G (walk down)    Em       A7              D
And he sits beneath the speakers way back in the stands
       G              C                       G           C
And he listens to the play by play, he's just waiting for one name
   A7                D              G
He wants to hear his son get in the game
[Verse 2] (Sung)
        G                C          G               C
But the boy's just not a hero, he's strictly second team
          G (walk down)       Em                A7               D
Though he runs each night for touchdowns in his fathers sweetest dreams
G               C                   G               C
He's gonna be a star someday though you might never tell
        A7               D                  G
But the blind man in the bleachers knows he will

Verse 3

        G                C           D               G
And the last game of the season is a Friday night at home
    G                               C                D
And no one knows the reason but the blind man didn't come
        C               D                 G (walk down)    Em
And his boy looks kinda nervous,sometimes turns around and stares
C                 D                        G
Just as though he sees the old man sitting there
(All sung from here)

Verse 4

        G                C          G               C
Well, the local boys are tryin' but they slowly lose their will
          G (walk down)       Em                A7               D
Another players down and now he's carried from the field
G               C                   G               C
At halftime in the locker room the kid goes off alone
        A7               D                  G
And no one sees him talkin' on the phone

Verse 5

        G                C           D               G
And the games already started when he gets back to the team
    G                               C                D
And half the crowd can hear his coach yell, "Where the hell you been?"
        C               D                 G (walk down)    Em
"Just getting' ready for the second half", is all he'll say
C                 D                        G
"Cause no you're gonna let me in to play"

Verse 6

        G                C           D               G
And without another word he turns and runs into the game
    G                               C                D
And though the silence on the field, loudspeakers call his name
        C               D                 G (walk down)    Em
It'll make the local papers how the team came from behind
C                 D                        G
When they saw him playing out his heart to win

Verse 7

        G                C          G               C
And when the game was over the coach asked him to tell
          G (walk down)       Em                A7               D
What was it he was thinkin' of that made him play so well
G               C                   G               C
"Well, you knew my Dad was blind", he said, "Tonight he passed away"
        A7               D                  G
"It's the first time that my father's seen me play"
