[Verse 1]
       G                                      C              G
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
       G                  Em                 D       
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
   G                                            C                  G
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
   C              D              G    
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
[Chorus]
     G                               C     G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
                                 C     G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
        D                  G          
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
[Verse 2]
         G                                   C                   G
Well I spent some time in the mudville nine watchin it from the bench
            G                        Em                 D
You know I took some lumps when the mighty Case struck out.
    G                                C         G
So say hey willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe Dimaggio
       C                      D                G
Don't say 'it ain't so', you know the time is now.
[Chorus]
     G                               C     G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
                                 C     G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
        D                  G          
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

[Verse 3]
       G                                   C                 G
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
             G                 Em               D
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
         G                                  C             G
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
            C                D                 G
(pop) it's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
[Chorus]
     G                               C     G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
                                 C     G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
        D                  
Look at me, (yeah) I could be (centerfield)
     G                               C     G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
                                 C     G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
        D                  G         
Look at me, gotta be centerfield. yeah!
