Here's the song, I got the rest here from another website, but these barre chords sound better.
G
Saturday morning and it's time to go
One of these could be the days but who could'a known
D7
Loadin' in the back of a pick-up truck
Ridin' with the boys and pushing their luck
G
Singin' songs loud on the way to the game
Wishing all the things could still be the same
D7
China's homeruns over the backstop
Ke kua on the barb and soda pop
CHORUS
E G
We used to laugh a lot
C
But only because we thought
G D7 G D7
That everything good always would remain
G D7 G D7
Nothing gonna change there's no need to complain
(Repeat INTRO just once on each chord)

Over to the field for tackle football
Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball
G
Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring
Keep on rolling, never boring
D7
Karma, karma, karma chameleon
We're talking kinda funny from helium

We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
Nothing gonna change there's no need to complain

Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes
