The Mind of John J. Blanchard Tommy Shane Steiner
Intro: G C F C (x2)
He had a s[G]troke in '9[C]5
They thought it b[G]est that he res[C]ide, in a nursing hom[G]e[C] [F] [C]
His family v[G]owed they'd never l[C]eave him
The last t[G]ime they came to s[C]ee him, was three years ag[G]o[C]
He spent his w[G]hole life pro[C]vidin'
Now he was d[G]own to re[C]lyin’, on Medicar[G]e[C] [F] [C]
The nurses t[G]ook a liking [C]to him
They'd get his wh[G]eelchair out and p[C]ush him, on sunny day[G]s[C]
He couldn't w[D]alk, he couldn't speak, seemed [F]so far out of reach
But in his m[C]ind as far as they knew he could [D]be
Chorus:
F[G]ly f[C]ishin', workin' [G]on that firebird e[C]ngine
Runnin' [G]99 proof m[C]oonshine across that c[G]ounty line[C]
3,2,[G]1 and ign[C]ition, off on s[G]ome space shuttle m[C]ission
Playin' [G]QB for the C[C]owboys, gettin' h[G]igh on the c[C]rowd noise
And the b[D]right lights
Cause deep ins[F]ide things were rockin' in the m[D]ind

One a[G]fternoon in J[C]une
A nurse s[G]aw his finger m[C]ove, she 'bout had a h[G]eart attack[C] [F] [C]
She went sc[G]reamin' down the h[C]all
Hey, it's a m[G]iracle ya[C]'ll, I think he's comin' [G]back [C]
The d[D]octors all rushed in, said do you k[F]now what year this is
How many fi[C]ngers am I holding and where you be[D]en.[Dsus4]...[Dsus5]
and he said
Chorus 2:

Playin' [G]QB for the C[C]owboys, gettin' h[G]igh on the c[C]rowd noise
And the b[D]right lights
Yeah all this t[F]ime things were rockin' in the m[D]ind
