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
