[G] [Em]
[C] [Am] [D]
[G] Saturday [D] summers [Em] when I was a kid,
[C] We'd run to the [Am] schoolyard and here's what [D] we did.
[C] We'd [D] pick out the captains [C] and we'd choose up [D] the teams.
[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'd picked [D] were the worst.
[F] I never needed to ask, it was [D] sealed.
I just took up my place in right field.
[C] [G] Playing right [Em] field, it's easy you [C] know.
You can be awkward [Am] and you can be slow,
That's [C] why [D] I'm here in right field,
[G] Just [D] watching the [G] dandelions grow.
[C] [G] Playing right field [Em] can be lonely and [C] dull,
Little leagues never [Am] have lefties [D] that pull.
[C] I [D] dream of the day [C] they [D] hit one my way,
[G]
They [D] never did, [Em] but still I would [C] pray,
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.
[G] Here in right field, [Em] it's easy you know.
[C] You can be [Am] awkward and you can be slow,
[C] That's why I'm [D] here in right [C] field,

[G] In the [D] distance, [Em] the game's dragging on,
[C] There's strikes on the batter, [Am] some [D] runners are on.
[C] I don't [D] 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 [Am] above,
And [D] a baseball falls into my glove.
[N] [D]
[G] Here in right field, [Em] it's important you know,
[C] You gotta know how to catch, [Am] you gotta know how to throw,
[C] That's why I'm [D] here in right field,
[C] Watching [D] the [G] dandelions grow.
