Right Field

• G

This is very basic chord-wise, but super fun lyrics so have fun with it. 
  
verse 1: 

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


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


verse 2: 

        G                  Em 
Playing right field can be lonely and dull, 
C                         Am 
Little leagues never have lefties that pull, 
  C            D7             C          D7 
I dream of the day, when they hit one my way, 
G                             Em 
They never did, but still I would pray, 
         C          Am    C            Am 
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run, 
    C            Am          D7 
And not lose the ball in the sun. 
    C          Am            C         Am 
And then I'd awake from this long reverie, 
    C             Am         C           Am 
And pray that the ball never came out to me. 


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

verse 3: 

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


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