Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 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.

Chorus

  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 the Cobb

 And Joe DiMaggio

 Don't say it ain't so

 You know the time is now.

Chorus

Intro

 Got a beat-up glove a homemade bat

 And a 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

 It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye.

Chorus
