Intro:(if you slide a C chord to the 5th then play it at 3rd 2nd fret its kinda like it)
G C G C Am D
Verse 1:
G D Em
Saturday summers when I was a kid,
C Am D
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did,
C D C D
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams,
G D Em
It was always a measure of my self esteem.
C Am
Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first,
Am D
The last ones they picked were the worst.
F
I never needed to ask it was sealed
D D7
I just took up my place in right field.
Chorus:
D7 C G Em G
Playing right field, its easy you know,
C Am D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
C D
That's why I'm here in right field,
C D G C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
Verse 2:
G Em
Playing right field can be lonely and dull,
C D
Little leagues never have lefties that pull,
C D C D
I dream of the day, when they hit one my way,
G D Em
They never did, but still I would pray,
C Am
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run,
C Am D
And not lose the ball in the sun.
F
And then I'd awake from this long reverie,
D
And pray that the ball never came out to me.
Chorus:
D7 C G Em G
Here in right field, its easy you know,
C Am D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
C D
That's why I'm here in right field,
C D G C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.

Verse 3:
G Em
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on,
C Am D
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on,
C D C D
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score.
G D Em
The whole team is yelling, and I don't know what for.
C Am
Suddenly everyone's looking at me,
C D C D7
My mind has been wandering, what could it be?
F
They point to the sky and I look up above,
D D7
And the baseball falls into my glove!
D7 C G Em D
Here in right field, Its important you know,
C D C D7
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,
C D
That's why I'm here in right field,
C D G C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
