There were two men down
:GD7 :G
And the score was tied
E7 :F#mD :Bm7
In the bottom of the eighth
:Dm6 :A :
When the pitcher died
A7 :DA7 :Dmaj7
And they laid his spikes
:GD7 :G
On the pitcher's mound
E7 :F#mD :Bm7
And his uni-form was torn
:Dm6 :
And his number was left on the ground
E :AmF :Am :
Then the night turned cold
Bbmaj7 :
Colder than the moon
:Gm :Dm
The stars were white as bones
:Bmaj7 : :
The stadium was old
E : :
Older than the screams
A :
Older than the teams
:DA7 :Dmaj7
There were three men down
:GD7 :G
And the season lost
E7 :Bm :Em :Bbmaj7 :
And the tarpaulin was ro---lled
:DA7 :Dmaj7 :
Upon the winter frost
