[Intro]
Dm C Bb F
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name)
[Verse 1]
F/A Bb F
Whereas Reggie Leach was born and played
Bbadd9 C F
Minor hockey back in my hometown
F/A Bb F
The Rifle fired his first five hundred here
Bbadd9 C Dm C Bb F
And slapped his way into the NHL
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name)
[Verse 2]
F/A Bb F
Whereas some of us weren't always fair
Bbadd9 C F
To the Native kid on borrowed skates
F/A Bb F
Chippy Goolies and Ukranians
Bbadd9 C Dm C Bb F
In the corners with our elbows up
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name)
[Verse 3]
F/A Bb F
Whereas Reggie on a playoff run
Bbadd9 C F
Could make a dad go buy the new TV
F/A Bb F
Put his youngest by the window, place
Bbadd9 C Dm C Bb F
The split antenna in her tiny hands
(We, the undersigned, put forth his name)
[Verse 4]
F/A Bb F
Whereas photos from the old Tribune
Bbadd9 C F
Of Reggie smiling with the Stanley Cup
F/A Bb F
Curled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls
Bbadd9 C (Dm)
Left a square of where they used to be
[Outro]
Dm C Bb F
We, the undersigned, put forth his name
Bbadd9 C (Dm)
To the Hockey Hall of Fame
Dm C Bb F
We, the undersigned, put forth his name
Bbadd9 C (Dm)
To the Hockey Hall of Fame
Dm C Bb F
Therefore, we, the undersigned put forth his name
Bbadd9 C F
To the Hockey Hall of Fame
