The Baseball Song

D          G             D
The first thing I remember is the 
game that I love
A             G            D
A man on the diamond, with a golden 
glove
G           D         A          
Daddy with me in the cheap seats 
 D
above
         A              G       
Saying, "Boy keep your eye on the 
   D
ball"
G                 D         A   
The crack of the bat, the 
    D
stadiums roar
A                  G            
We were up on our feet for the tie 
D
breaking score
         G        D          
I said, "daddy I know what you 
   A               D
brought me here for"
          A             G         
He said, "good I hoped you hear 
    D
the call"

[Chorus]
          G    D    G     D     
Life's a fastball, belt high, 
A     G               D
coming right down the middle
G       D                      G  D
Don't stand there, and let it go by
A               G             D
Swing hard and aim for the stands

[Verse 2]
G            D            A     
My field of dreams was covered 
    D
in stone
A                 G          D
An old, gravel parking lot next to 
our home
G            D            A     
Dad on the mound until daylight 
      D
was gone
          A             G       
Saying, "boy keep your eye on the 
   D
ball"

G            D                   
Cause it's 'Hey batter hey 
    A             D
batter, swing batter, swing'
     A            G          D
The world is an infield, always 
chattering
        G            D         
If you don't concentrate they'll 
    A          D
spoil your timing
            A          G        
And you'll walk away cussing them 
   D
all

[Chorus]
          G    D    G     D     
Life's a fastball, belt high, 
A     G               D
coming right down the middle
G       D                      G  D
Don't stand there, and let it go by
A               G             D
Swing hard and aim for the stands
                        A
And thank God for your fans
                    D
Thank God for your fans
                     A
Thank God for your fans
                    Bm
Thank God for your fans

[Verse 3]
D                        A       
Dad through a party when I got 
   D
the call
         A            G      
All the years on the farm team 
    D
finally paid off
     G          D
Now I'm in the big leagues aiming 
for the fall
        A           G           D
Every summer is a long playoff run
G                 D         A   
As I walk to the plate, I look 
        D
in the stands
A        G          D
I see myself and I see my old man
G                 D          A  
I hear all of my family and all 
       D
of my friends cheering
A               G          D
"Boy keep your eye on the ball"

[Chorus]
        G    D    G   D     A  
It's a fastball, belt high, 
     G               D
coming right down the middle
G               D      
I'm gonna mail one to the 
   G       D
grandstands
      A            G           D
Good glory, this ones for the fans

And my old man
G        D     A
My old man
