Verse 1:
GDEm
Saturday summers when I was a kid,
CAmD
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did,
CDCD
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams,
GDEm
It was always a measure of my self esteem.
CAm
Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first,
AmD
The last ones they picked were the worst.
F
I never needed to ask it was sealed
DD7
I just took up my place in right field.
Chorus:
D7CGEmG
Playing right field, its easy you know,
CAmD
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
CD
That's why I'm here in right field,
CDGCG
Just watching the dandelions grow.
Verse 2:
GEm
Playing right field can be lonely and dull,
CD
Little leagues never have lefties that pull,
CDCD
I dream of the day, when they hit one my way,
GDEm
They never did, but still I would pray,
CAm
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run,
CAmD
And not lose the ball in the sun.
F
And then I'd awake from this long reverie,
D
And pray that the ball never came out to me.
Chorus:
D7CGEmG
Here in right field, its easy you know,
CAmD
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
CD
That's why I'm here in right field,
CDGCG
Just watching the dandelions grow.
[solo break] G C G C A D G C D E...........?
Verse 3:
GEm
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on,
CAmD
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on,
CDCD
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score.
GDEm
The whole team is yelling, and I don't know what for.
CAm
Suddenly everyone's looking at me,
CDCD7
My mind has been wandering, what could it be?
F
They point to the sky and I look up above,
DD7
And the baseball falls into my glove!
D7CGEmD
Here in right field, Its important you know,
CDCD7
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,
CD
That's why I'm here in right field,
CDGCG
Just watching the dandelions grow.
