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

(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
