this is very basic chord – wise , but super fun lyrics so have fun with it .
verse 1 :
G Em
saturday summers when i was a kid ,
C Am
we’d run to the school yard and here’s what we did ,
C D7 C D7
we’d pick out the captains and we’d choose up the teams ,
G Em
it was always a measure of my self esteem .
C Am
cause the fastest , the strongest played shortstop and first ,
Am D7
the last ones they picked were the worst .
F
i never needed to ask it was sealed
Dm D7
i just took up my place in right field .
chorus :
G Em
playing right field , its easy you know ,
C D7 C D7
you can be awkward , you can be slow ,
C Am
that’s why i’m here in right field ,
Am D7 G
just watching the dandelions grow .
verse 2 :
G Em
playing right field can be lonely and dull ,
C Am
little leagues never have lefties that pull ,
C D7 C D7
i dream of the day , when they hit one my way ,
G Em
they never did , but still i would pray ,
C Am C Am
that i’d make a fantastic catch on the run ,
C Am D7
and not lose the ball in the sun .
C Am C Am
and then i’d awake from this long reverie ,
C Am C Am
and pray that the ball never came out to me .
chorus :
G Em
here in right field , its easy you know ,
C D7 C D7
you can be awkward , you can be slow ,
C Am
that’s why i’m here in right field ,
Am D7 G
just watching the dandelions grow .
[ solo break ]
verse 3 :
G Em
off in the distance , the game’s dragging on ,
C Am
there’s strikes on the batter , some runners are on ,
C D7 C D7
i don’t know the inning , i’ve forgotten the score .
G Em
the whole team is yelling , and i don’t know what for .
C Am C Am
suddenly everyone’s looking at me ,
C Am C D7
my mind has been wandering , what could it be?
C Am C Am
they point to the sky and i look up above ,
C Am D7
and the baseball falls into my glove!
G C Am
here in right field , its important you know ,
C Am C D7
you gotta know how to catch , you gotta know how to throw ,
C Am
that’s why i’m here in right field ,
Am D7 G G C Am D7 G
just watching the dandelions grow .
