Verse III: Guitar I

(Either palm mute the notes or play softly)

G

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat,

C G

And a brand new pair of shoes

You know I think it's time

E D

To give this game a ride

G

Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all

C G

A moment in the sun

C D G

It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye
