Verse: Guitar I
(Either palm mute the notes or play softly)

G
Well I beat the drum, and hold the phone
     C             G
The sun came out today
                          E                 D
Were born again, there's new grass on the field
G
A-roundin' third and head for home
       C                    G
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
   C              D
Anyone can understand
              G
The way I feel

Verse II: Guitar I
(Either palm mute the notes or play softly)

G
Well is spent some time in the Mudville Nine
C                      G
Watchin' it from the bench
                                    E                    D
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out
    G
So say Hey Willie tell the Cobb
     C         G
And Joe DiMaggio
       C
Don't say it ain't so
     D                G
You know the time is now

Verse III: Guitar I
(Either palm mute the notes or play softly)

G
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat,
        C                 G
And a brand new pair of shoes

You know I think it's time
    E                D
To give this game a ride
         G
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all
   C             G
A moment in the sun
      C                D                G 
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye
