Note: Just prior playing G chord at 
start of Verse 1 and 2, strum all 
six strings
from the low E to high E near the 
bridge to give a bright sound.


[Verse 1]
G                  Gm            
For sixty years he shined shoes 
      F                Dm         
in the same spot in the shadow of 
      C
Yankee Stadium...
G               Gm               
As he shines he hears the game, 
    F                 Dm          
and in his mind he he hears his 
           C
name as if he played for them...


[Chorus]
D                 D7              
Takes his turn at bat, there's the
 Am               Am7             
 pitch, he swings at it, and it's 
Em
gone...
A                D
Back through the years he's gone...
   Em                  A      
To take the field with Ruth and 
          D
Gehrig, bring the pennant home...
   F               G              
He sees himself in pinstripes, in 
  C             Am
a lineup of his own...
     D             C       
He's stranded on a basepath, 
      D             C       G
somewhere between old and New York.

[Verse 2]
     G             Gm              
As a customer asks for a shine, he 
F                Dm             
snaps his cloth, another inning 
C
ends...
G               Gm          
Dodgers come to bat, there's a 
   F                   Dm         
drive, he makes the catch to point
         C
 he's tossed again...


[Chorus]
D                   D7            
His cloth becomes a glove, as he's
 Am              Am7         
 done with every customer he's 
  Em
known...
A                D
Back through the years he's gone...
   Em                  A       
To take the field with Maris and 
          D
Mantle, bring the pennant home...
   F               G              
He sees himself in pinstripes, in 
  C             Am
a lineup of his own...
     D               C     
He's stranded on a basepath, 
      D             C           G
somewhere between old and New York.

[Chorus]
D                 D7              
Takes his turn at bat, there's the
 Am               Am7             
 pitch, he swings at it, there it 
Em
goes...
A                D
Back through the years he goes...
Em            A                D
Ride a ticker tape parade with Joe 
DiMaggio...
      F                  G        
As he patiently signs an autograph
        C              Am
 with a spitshine on a toe...
     D             C       
He's stranded on a basepath, 
       D            C           G
somewhere between old and New York.
