My Hockey Mom Tribute

C D G

[Verse 1]
G                        D
When I was young, I do recall,
D                                   G
We would go to school, in the early fall,
G                                   D
But on the days, when there was no school,
D                                   G
I'd learned to play, by a different rule.

[Chorus]
C
Get out of that bed, you sleepy head,
C
My hockey mom would say,
G
Grab your skates, and don't be late,
G                       D
There's a hockey game today!
    C
And poor old dad, was feeling bad,
C
Because he couldn't come,
   G
He had to go to work,
G                       D
And so I took my orders from,
          G
My Hockey Mom.
          C
My Hockey Mom,
           D
She was my chum,
          G
My Hockey Mom.

[Verse 2]
G                                  D
Well then we drove, to the rink in town,
D                               G
And I'd hit the ice, by falling down,
G                                 D
And then I'd score, for the other team,
D                                    G
You could hear my mom, Stand up and scream!

[Chorus]
    C
Get off of that ice, I told you twice,
C
To skate the other way,
G
Every year she'd bent my ear,
G               D
Until I learned play.
    C
And when my stick, got pretty quick,
C
And the puck to me would come,
     G
Each time I scored, I knew for sure,
G                           D
Where the loudest cheer was from,
          G
My Hockey Mom,
          C
My Hockey Mom,
            D
My day will come,
          G
My Hockey Mom.

[Verse 3]
G                            D
And then one day, a stranger came,
D                             G
From far away, and he took my name,
G                          D
And very soon, for the N.H.L.,
D                               G
I came to play, and mom came to yell.

[Chorus]
    C
Get on that puck, and stir things up,
C
And show some winning pride!
    G
And every time, she'd say that line,
G                    D
I'd bang that puck inside!
    C
And here's my dad, all mister Glad,
C
He knew this night would come,
      G
We're all lined up, for the Stanley Cup,
G                         D
And the tears are rolling from,
          G
My Hockey Mom,
          C
My Hockey Mom,
              D
Ain't she the plum?
          G
My Hockey Mom.
          C
My Hockey Mom,
        D
Forever Young,
          G
My Hockey Mom.
