CENTER FIELD

6     6   6    6   5    6   6    5
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone 

 4   7    7   7  7 -6 6
the sun came out today !

  5     6  6  6     
We're born again, 

   6    -6    6    6  5   -4
there's new grass on the field

5   6   6    6     5   6  6   6   5
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, 

 4   4   7    7    7   7   -6 6
it's a brown-eyed handsome man ;

7 7 7   7   7  7  -6   6   6  5 -4 4
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

CHORUS:

 7   7   7 -6    6      7   7 -6  6  -6  -6 6
Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

 7   7 -6    6      7   7 -6 6   -6  -6 6
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;

-6    6 -6 -6  6  -6  5  5 -4 4
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

 6    5   6     6   6    5  4   6   6     5
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, 

  7  7    7  7    7  -6  6
watchin' it from the bench;

 5    6  5  6    6     6
You know I took some lumps 

  5   5   6   6  6 6     5   -4
when the Mighty Casey struck out.

 5  6   6   6  6    6    6  5
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb

 4   7   7 7  7 7-6 6
and Joe DiMaggio. . .;

 7     7    7   7    7   -6    6   5    5   5 -4 4
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

CHORUS:

  7  -6  7  -6  6  7  -6
Yeah! I got it, I got it!

 6  6   6   6   6    5  6   6    6
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, 

5 4   7    7   7    7 -6 6
and brand-new pair of shoes;

 5    6  5   6    6    6    6  -6    6    6  5  -4
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride

  5  -5  6   6   6    5    6    6   6
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all  

5  7  7   7  7 -6 6
a moment in the sun;

  X    7     7   7   7  -6   6    6    5   5 -4 4
(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
