Peter, Paul, and Mary - Right Field

Originally in G, I play in D capo 3

DG/DDG/D

DSaturday D/C#summers when BmI was a Bm7kid

We’d Grun to the G/F#school yard and Emhere’s what we A/C#did

We’d Gpick out the Acaptains and we’d Gchoose up the Ateams

It was Dalways a D/C#measure of Bmmy self esteem

Cause the Gfastest, the strongest played Emshortstop and first

The G/Dlast ones they picked were the A/C#worst

CI never needed to ask, it was sealed

I just A/C#took up my place in right field

Playing Dright D/C#field can be Bmlonely and Bm7dull

GLittle leagues G/F#never have Emlefties that A/C#pull

I Gdream of the Aday, when they Ghit one my Away

DThey never D/C#did, but Bmstill I would Bm7pray

That GI’d make a fantastic Emcatch on the run

And G/Dnot lose the ball in the A/C#sun

And Cthen I’d awake from this long reverie

And A/C#pray that the ball never came out to me

Solo if appropriate

DD/C#BmD/AGG/F#

EmA/C#DD/C#B7Em

DOff in the A/C#distance, the Bmgame’s dragging Bm7on

There’s Gstrikes on the G/F#batter, some Emrunners are A/C#on

I Gdon’t know the Ainning, I’ve forGgotten the Ascore

The Dwhole team is D/C#yelling and I Bmdon’t know what for

GSuddenly everyone’s Emlooking at me

My G/Dmind has been wandering, A/C#what could it be?

They Cpoint to the sky and I look up above

And the A/C#baseball falls into my glove!
