Verse 1
(C major) In his 10 years with the Boston Red Sox, Roger Clemens established himself as one of the all- time best pitchers. But a few off years in his early 30's caused the general manager to cut him loose,
saying "we wish Roger well in (F major) the twilight of his career." He was only 34! Always a (C major) fan of the resilient old guy, I was thrilled to see (G major) him bounce back with four more Cy Young awards and two World Series championships with the Yankees in the years that followed. It's too bad that those achievements have been tarnished by his connection with (C major) steroids. Then again, pride and the determination to prove the doubters wrong can sometimes cause you to take on some drastic and regrettable actions.
Verse 2
I work hard, I earn my pay, and I do (F major) the best I can (C major) . In Boston town (E minor) it's sweat (A minor) and blood that makes (F major) a man a man. (G major) But
the years (F major) are (C major) cruel; they take (F major) their toll (C major) and they (A minor) get you on the run. (G major) 34 and the boss, he said my time (C major) here was (F major) done. (C major)
But it's (F major) all right, (C major) I'll (F major) carry on. (C major) (A minor) I will persevere. They (G major) wished me
well and they let me go in the twilight (F major) (C major) of my (G major) career (C major) . (F major)

Verse 3
(C major) Spent some time up in Canada before I (F major) was New York City bound. (C major) They got no (E minor) time for losers (A minor) in that (F major) big city town. (G major) So I took (F major) some chances, (C major) I (F major) bent some rules, (C major) and I (A minor) made some ugly ties. The foun (G major) tain of youth becomes a poisoned well when you (C major) fill it (F major) up with lies. (C major) But it's (F major) all (C major) right,
I'll (F major) carry on. (C major) (A minor) Now I'm in the clear. I (G major) had to prove them wrong, I guess, in the twilight (F major) (C major) of (G major) my career (C major) . (F major) (C major) In the twilight (F major) (C major) you'll (F major) do some thing (C major) s that you would (A minor) never do again, but (G major) you were just a young man then...
(F major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 4
(C major)
Now my time is done and no one (F major) dares to speak my name. (C major) Forgotten, (E minor) a pari (A minor) ah,
I'm a ghost (F major) that walks this game. (G major) I meant (F major) no wrong (C major) but (F major) wrong I've done. (C major) It's (A minor) easy to forget - - you sell (G major) your soul piece by piece until (C major) there's (F major) noth (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (G major) ing (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) left.
