D 
Well beat the drum and hold the phone 
G                          D 
The sun came out today 
 
We’re born again 
             E                    A 
There’s new grass on the field  
 
D 
Roundin’ third and heading for home 
G                                   D 
It’s a brown eyed handsome man 
      G                    C            G 
Anyone can understand the way I feel 
 
Chorus: 
G 
Put me in coach 
                    E    D 
I’m ready to play today 
G 
Put me in coach 
                    E      D 
I’m ready to play today 
             E           D 
Look at me, I can be 
G 
Centerfield  
*--- 
D 
Well I spent some time 
 
In the Mudville Nine 
G                                E-D 
Watching to from the bench 
D 
You know I took some lumps  
                G                             D 
When the mighty Case struck out 
- 
D 
So say hey Willy 
 
Tell Ty Cobb 
        G          E -D 
And Joe Demasio 
           G                         C                      G 
Don’t say it aint so you know the time is now 
 
Chorus 
 
D 
Got a beat up glove 
 
And a homemade bat 
           G                           E-D 
And a brand new pair of shoes 
                                                                           A 
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride 
       D 
Just hit the ball and touch em’ all 
     G                    E-D 
A moment in the sun 
 
G                           D                 G 
It’s gone; you can kiss the one goodbye
