:D5 A5 :D5
There were two men down
:G5 D5 :G5
And the score was tied
E5 :F#5 D5 :B5
In the bottom of the eighth
:D5 :A5 :
When the pitcher died
A5 :D5 A5 :D5
And they laid his spikes
:G5 D5 :G5
On the pitcher's mound
E5 :F#5 D5 :B5
And his uni-form was torn
:D5 :
And his number was left on the ground
E5 :A5 F5 :A5 :
Then the night turned cold
Bb5 :
Colder than the moon
:G5 :D5
The stars were white as bones
:B5 : :
The stadium was old
E5 : :
Older than the screams
A5 :
Older than the teams
:D5 A5 :D5
There were three men down
:G5 D5 :G5
And the season lost
E5 :B5 :E5 :Bb5 :
And the tarpaulin was ro---lled
:D5 A5 :D5 :
Upon the winter frost
G5 D5 :G5 D5 G:D5 E5 :A5 :D5 : :
