Verse 1:

G        D            Em
Saturday summers when I was a kid,
      C                        
We'd run to the school yard and 
 Am             D
here's what we did,
     C            D                
We'd pick out the captains and we'd
C             D
 choose up the teams,
       G        D          Em
It was always a measure of my self 
esteem.
          C                     
Cause the fastest, the strongest 
        Am
played shortstop and first,
    Am                             
The last ones they picked were the 
D
worst.
F
I never needed to ask it was sealed
       D                        
I just took up my place in right 
D7
field.

Chorus:
D7  C   G                Em     
Playing right field, its easy you 
   G
know,
C                   Am         D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
           C           D
That's why I'm here in right field,
     C            D          G   
Just watching the dandelions 
        C G
grow.

Verse 2:

        G                  Em
Playing right field can be lonely 
and dull,
C                                 
Little leagues never have lefties 
     D
that pull,
  C            D              C  
I dream of the day, when they hit
        D
 one my way,
G          D         Em
They never did, but still I would 
pray,
     C                    Am
That I'd make a fantastic catch on 
the run,
    C            Am          D
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:

D7   C  G                Em     
Here in right field, its easy you 
  G
know,
C                   Am         D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
           C           D
That's why I'm here in right field,
     C            D          G   
Just watching the dandelions 
     C G
grow.

Verse 3:

G                        Em
Off in the distance, the game's 
dragging on,
        C                          
There's strikes on the batter, some
 Am          D
 runners are on,
  C              D          
I don't know the inning, I've 
  C             D
forgotten the score.
    G             D              
The whole team is yelling, and I 
Em
don't know what for.
C                   Am
Suddenly everyone's looking at me,
   C             D         C     
My mind has been wandering, what 
        D7
could it be?
     F
They point to the sky and I look up 
above,
        D                     
And the baseball falls into my 
 D7
glove!


D7   C  G                Em    
Here in right field, Its 
        D
important you know,
          C           D        
You gotta know how to catch, you 
        C           D7
gotta know how to throw,
           C                 D
That's why I'm here in right field,
     C            D          G   
Just watching the dandelions 
       C G
grow.
