C F C F C F C
this town ain’t big this town ain’t small it’s a little of both they say
F G
our ball club may be minor – league but at least it’s triple A
C F C F C F Am
we sit be – low the marlboro man above the right – field wall
Am F G
we do the wave all by ourselves “hey ump , a blind man coulda made that call!”

chorus

( G ) C F C F C
we like our beer as flat as can be we like our dogs with mustard and re – lish
G C F F C F C
we’ve got a great pitcher , what’s his name well , we can’t even spell it
G C F Am
we don’t worry about the pennants much we just like to see the boys hit it deep
Am F G C F Am G C F Am G
there’s nothing like the view from the cheap seats

C F C F C F C
the game was close we call it a win go off to toast the boys again
F G
that local band is back in town they’ve got a kind of minor – league sound
C F C C F Am
they’re not that bad they’re not that good but all in all , it’s under – stood
Am F G
we want to dance , they want to play we wouldn’t have it any other way

go to chorus , lead , “cheap seats” , to third verse

C F C F C F C
now the majors call up old what’s his name and one more building rises tall
F G
and suddenly we’re all grown up and this old town’s not quite so small
C F C F C F Am
but i’ll always miss the middle – size towns in the middle of the middle west
Am F G
with no name pitchers and local bands and mustard and relish and all the rest

go to chorus , “cheap seats” “he hits it it’s going going going yeah – eah it’s
a home run” “cheap seats”
