Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Saturday sum[D]mers,
when [Em]I was a kid
[G]We'd [C]run to the schoolyard
[Am]and here's what [D]we did
We'd [C]pick out the captain[D]s and
we'd [C]choose up the team[D]s
It was [G]always [D]a measure of
[E]my [Em]self esteem

[Verse 2]
'Cause the [C]fastest, the strongest,
played [Am]shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the wor[D]st
[F]I never needed to ask, it was sealed,
I just [D]took up my place in right field.

[Verse 3]
[D]Play[Em]ing...
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus]
Right field, [Em]it's easy, you know.
[C]You can be awkward and
[Am]you can be slow
That's why [C]I'm here in [D]right field
Just [C]watching the [D]dandeli
[G]ons [C]grow[G]
Play[C]ing

[Verse 5]
[G]right field can be [Em]lonely and dull
[C]Little Leagues never [Am]have lefties that [D]pull
I'd [C]dream of the [D]day they'd
[C]hit one my [D]way
[G]They never [D]did, [Em]but still I would pray
That [C]I'd make a fantastic
[Am]catch on the run
And not lose the ball in [D]the sun
And [F]then I'd awake from this long reverie
[Am]And [D]pray that the ball never
came out to me

[Interlude 1]
Here in...
[G][D][Em][C][Am][C][D][C]
[D][G][C][G][C][G][Em][C][Em]
[Am][D][C][D][E][Am][C][D]
[Am][G][Em][D][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
[G][Chorus]
Off in the dis[D]tance,
the [Em]game's dragging on,
[C]There's strikes on the batter,
some [Am]runners are [D]on.
I [C]don't know the [D]inning,
I've for[C]gotten [D]the score.
[G]The whole team is [D]yelling and
I [Em]don't know what for.

[Verse 7]
Then [C]suddenly everyone's [Am]looking at me
My mind has been [D]wan
dering; what could it be?
They [F]point at the sky and I look up above
And [Am]a ba[D]seball falls into my glove!

[Verse 8]
[D]Here [Em]in ri[D]gh[G]t fiel[D]d,
it's [Em]im portant you know.
You [D]gotta [C]know how to catch,
you gotta [Am]know how to throw,
That's [C]why I'm here in [D]right field,
just [C]watching [D]the dandelions gro[G]w![C]

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
