Standard (EADGBE)

 Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!

 We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.

 A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man;

 Anyone can understand the way I feel.

 Oh, put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;

Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;

 Look at me, I can be centerfield.

 Well I spent some time in the mudville nine watchin it from the bench;

 You know I took some lumps when the mighty case struck out.

 So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;

 Don’t say "it ain’t so", you know the time is now.

Chorus repeat intro

 Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;

 You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride.

 Just to hit the ball and touch ’em all - a moment in the sun;

(pop) it’s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

 Chorus x2
