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.
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.
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.
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.

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 C Am D7 G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
My first tab!
