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
