Intro (something with D G A )



D (hammer on D-string, fourth fret sometimes)
The waters wide
Its deep and wide
                            G
Its down a long and windy road
D                         A         G     D
And everyone knows that a boy cant swim it

D
In narrows church
The white walled church
                             G
Theyre singing that gospel song
D             A      G        D
bye and bye, i will see my king

A                   D
The clouds will break
A                   D
And the pews shake
A                       G
And the choir softly cries
D                 G              A  D
And its georgia in the spring of 1905                       (and so on)

Ty cobb
Youre dead and gone
You had a game like a war machine
And through the great
Hall of fame you wander
In tigers field
A girl in heels

She had a face like a magazine
And through the long metal stands she wandered

The ball soared
The crowd roared
The scoreboard sweetly hummed
And tomorrow youll surely know whose won

Im on first
And youre on third
And all the wolves are all between
And everyones sure that the game is over

The catchers hard
Hes mean mean and hard
And he nips at the batters heels
And everyones sure that the game is over

The ball soars
And the crowd roars
And the scoreboard sweetly hums
And tomorrow youll surely know whose won

The waters wide
Its deep and wide
Its a down a long and windy road
And everyone knows that a boy cant swim it

The clouds break
And the pews shake
And the preachers feet do pound
As the rain beats the streets of cooperstown
