[G] [D] Saturday summers [Em] when I was a kid, [C] we'd run to the schoolyard [Am] and here's what we [D] did.
[C] We'd pick out [D] the captains [C] and we'd choose [D] up the deans.
[G] It was always [D] a measure [Em] of my self-esteem,
[C] cause the fastest, the strongest [Am] played shortstop in first.
The last ones they picked [D] were the worst.
I [F] never needed to ask, it was [Am] sealed.
I [D] just took up my place in right field.
[G] Playing right [D] field, [Em] it's easy you know.
[C] You can be awkward [Am] and you can be slow,
that's [C] why I'm here [A] in right field, [G] just watching [D] the
[G] dandelions [C] grow.
[G]
[E] [G] Playing [D] right field [Em] can be lonely and dull,
[C]
little leagues never have [Am] lefties [D] that pull.
[C] I dream [D] of the day [C]
they hit [D] one my way,
[G] they [D] never did, [Em] but still I would pray,
[C]
that I'd make a fantastic [Am] catch on the run,
and not lose the ball in [D] the sun.
[F] And then I'd awake from this long reverie,
[D] and pray that the ball never came out to me,
here in right field, [Em] it's easy you know.
[C] You can be awkward and [Am] you can be slow,
that's [C] why I'm [D] here in right [C] field, just watching [D] the [G] dandelions grow.

[G]
Off [D] in the distance, [Em] the game's dragging on,
[C] there's strikes on the batter, [Am] some runners [D] are on.
[C] I don't [A] know the inning, [C] I've forgotten [D] the score,
[G] the whole [D] team is yelling, [Em] and I don't know what for.
[C] Then suddenly [Am] everyone's looking at me,
I might have been wondering [D] what could it be,
[F] they point to the sky and I look up,
[C] [D] above baseball walls into my glove.
[N] [D]
Here [G] in right field, [Em] it's important you know,
[C] you gotta know how to catch, you [Am] gotta know how to throw,
that's [C] why I'm [D] here in right [C] field, watching [D] the [G] dandelions grow.
