There's this young guy, he's kind of new on the music scene, but he's got a few good songs.
And he's from out this way.
You might have heard of him.
He's kind of a young guy.
[B] He's got this song and it goes like this.
[A] [B]
[E]
[A]
[B] [E]
[B]
[E] It's the one one hockey game.
Second period.
Where the players dance, escape the blast.
The home [B] team trails behind.
They grab the puck and go bursting up from the down across [E] the line.
Let the storm decrease like bumblebees.
Travel [A] like a burning flame.
[F#] See them slide the puck inside.
It's the one one hockey game.
[E] Oh, the good old hockey game.
It's the best [B] game.
Yeah, it's the best game.
It's the [E] good old hockey game.
[G] Now it's the third period.
[G#] Last game of the division final.
[E]
[B] Dallas [E] at Edmonton.
A lot of history there.
A lot of history.
A [Bm] lot of history there.
Dallas at Edmonton.
But tonight,
[B] I got the microphone, motherfucker.
[E] Let's take a moment.
The hockey players face off down the rink.
The Stanley Cup is all built for the champs to win the drink.
With the final push of a hockey stick and one gigantic [A] scream.
The puck is in.
Oh, there's [B] wind.
The good old hockey game.
Oh, the hockey game.
It's the best game.
[B] Yeah, it's the best game.
It's the good [E] old hockey game.
Well, we had assumed [D#] until recently that Stompin' Tom Connors had [E] written the perfect hockey song.
That's what we had assumed.
But [Bm] then about three years ago, they had that blocko, the strike.
You remember that, right?
You know?
[E] Yeah.
And I was a little disillusioned, you know, because I like hockey as much as the next guy.
And I started thinking, you know what, maybe they're all a bunch of greedy bastards.
And then, and then hockey came back and the game was [C#m] improved and it's actually been pretty good since then.
So I'm feeling pretty good about it.
[B] And haven't been singing this verse, right?
[E] But then, [G] but then we lost Ryan [Bm] Smith.
[E] Yeah.
[B] And now, and now I'm bitter and jaded once again.
[Bm]
So, this is the fourth [B] verse written to the song.
It's written by a friend of mine named Mike Bloom, who's also a Rodeo Canadian songwriter.
And this was written [E] deep in the winter of Nohockey.
The hockey-less winter, right?
[G#] See if you can remember the [E] depression and isolation that you felt in that one.
They're on the plane, want to save the game.
Don't [B] leave us hanging here.
[F#] The little overpaid grits with hockey sticks, they make too much [E] of you.
Holy fuck, just drop the puck, boy, have you got [A] no shame?
Jesus [E] Christ, you're on the ice, [B] play the goddamn game.
The Nohockey [E] game, we're the best game.
[B] Game, game, we're the best game.
Game, game, it's the [F#] Nohockey game.
[E] The Nohockey game, we're the best game.
[B] Game, game, we're the best game.
[Bm] And the spirit [B] of [F#] hockey is high.
[Em] He [E] shoots and scores!
[G#] [E]
And he's from out this way.
You might have heard of him.
