    G    D A
I'm goin away,

    G     D    A
Way up in Michigan,
G            A              D

Twenty years in the minor leagues...

Well I gotta        few hits,
G        A              D
   But I never made the show.
Bm                           G
   And I could hang on for a few 
years,
A                      D

My cou-         sin   Ray,
G            A              D

          G      D   A
Where the houses are cheap,
G         A                 D
   And he knows this nice lady.
Bm                         G

So goodbye to the bus.

Goodbye to the cheers,

   Well I'm trading in this old bat,
A                D
   For a fishing pole.
