[Verse 1]
[C]I m[Am]et he[C]r [Am]at a ba[C]seball game
That got held up by [Gm]August [Csus4]rain
Be[Cm]neath [Ab]the mezzanine,
I [Bb]huddled [Csus4]up against her hand[C][Am]
By [C]then the rain had left the ground
And Seger [Csus4]threw a few[Gm] on
the [Csus4]mound[Gm]
[Ab]We stood to face the flag that
[Csus4]flew above the Navy band[C]
[G]Then the [Bdim]anthem began to
[Csus4]blare through the[Dm] stadium
It [Em]rang through the [Abdim]open air[Am]
And I [D]knew this was the time
to make my pitch
[G]

[Verse 2]
Won't you [C]come home with [Am]me?
I've [C]a r[Am]oom y[D]ou should s[Gsus4]ee[G]
With [C]a warm [Em]waterbed
And a pil[F]low [Dm]for y[F]our [C]head
I've a robe you could [Am]wear
And [C]the [D]smoke we [G]could share
You are [C]blond, I am [Em]tall
And I [G]think that [F]says it [C]all
A quick glass [G]of wine

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]Then [F]I'll feed you a line
[C]Nilsson will [E]sing
And you [Am]won't [D]feel a thi[G]ng
Oh, [C]say [Dm]you [C]will s[F]tay with me, l[Bb]ove
Must [D]I say, I [G]love you?

[Verse 4]
[C]Well, how do ya' like my pad?
Oh, it's great. I mean, I love purple
[Am]I, I bet you're an Aquarius, aren't you?
No, [D]actually, I'm a Leo
I knew you [G]were one of those
You know, Leos are very big
[C]on Women's lib
I don't, [Em]uh, believe in Women's [G]lib

[Verse 5]
Yes, somehow I [F]didn't
think you did
Let me just turn [C]on the hi- fi [G]here
[C]Oh, that's pre[G]tty, um,[F]
what kind of wine is this?
Oh, that's uh, that's red [C]wine
Red, that's my favorite [E]kind
Are you having a terrific [Am]time?
[D]Oh, yeah. I'm having
a very terrific [G]time

[Verse 6]
Oh, [C]stay [Dm]for a[Em] lif[F]etime
At [Bb]least wait un[Am]til the [D]late s[G]how
So, you didn't tell me your
[C]name[G][C][F][C]
My name is [Fm]Karen[G][F][Gsus4][G]

[Outro 1]
That was my mother's name
[C]
