Chords with lyrics

This is very basic chord-wise, but super fun lyrics so have fun with it.

Verse 1:

G+G           E minorEm
Saturday summers when I was a kid,
   C majorC             A minorAm
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did,
   C majorC      D7D7        C majorC       D7D7
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams,
    G+G          E minorEm
It was always a measure of my self esteem.
     C majorC               A minorAm
Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first,
  A minorAm               D7D7
The last ones they picked were the worst.
FF
I never needed to ask it was sealed
    DmDm            D7D7
I just took up my place in right field.

Chorus:
    G+G        E minorEm
Playing right field, its easy you know,
C majorC     D7D7    C majorC     D7D7
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
      C majorC      A minorAm
That's why I'm here in right field,
   A minorAm      D7D7     G+G
Just watching the dandelions grow.

Verse 2:
    G+G         E minorEm
Playing right field can be lonely and dull,
C majorC             A minorAm
Little leagues never have lefties that pull,
 C majorC      D7D7       C majorC     D7D7
I dream of the day, when they hit one my way,
G+G               E minorEm
They never did, but still I would pray,
     C majorC     A minorAm  C majorC      A minorAm
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run,
  C majorC      A minorAm     D7D7
And not lose the ball in the sun.
  C majorC     A minorAm      C majorC     A minorAm
And then I'd awake from this long reverie,
  C majorC       A minorAm     C majorC      A minorAm
And pray that the ball never came out to me.

Chorus:

    G+G        E minorEm
Here in right field, its easy you know,
C majorC     D7D7    C majorC     D7D7
You can be awkward, you can be slow,
      C majorC      A minorAm
That's why I'm here in right field,
   A minorAm      D7D7     G+G
Just watching the dandelions grow.

[solo break]

Verse 3:

G+G            E minorEm
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on,
    C majorC              A minorAm
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on,
 C majorC       D7D7       C majorC     D7D7
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score.
  G+G              E minorEm
The whole team is yelling, and I don't know what for.
C majorC    A minorAm     C majorC     A minorAm
Suddenly everyone's looking at me,
  C majorC       A minorAm     C majorC       D7D7
My mind has been wandering, what could it be?
   C majorC      A minorAm    C majorC    A minorAm
They point to the sky and I look up above,
    C majorC       A minorAm   D7D7
And the baseball falls into my glove!


    G+G        C majorC       A minorAm
Here in right field, Its important you know,
     C majorC      A minorAm        C majorC      D7D7
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,
      C majorC        A minorAm
That's why I'm here in right field,
   A minorAm      D7D7     G+G     G+G C majorC A minorAm D7D7 G+G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
