Key: A Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: D G One day I was thinkin' 'bout the Babe G And the memories he left behind of the old ball game G And the shame of it all is that they're almost gone G But there's still a few pieces I can recall Verse 1: C G F The catcher says to Ruth Em7 "You know it's just a game Dm7 You win, you lose Bb But it's all the same" C G F And the Babe would turn and say Em7 "You know, you're right Dm7 Bb But I still love to play" C G F And Ruth she turns to me Em7 And wonders where I am Dm7 Bb And where I'd be if she didn't care C G F I return to Ruth to say Em7 "You know I'd be all right Dm7 Bb C But I'd still love to play"
Verse 2: G F The pitcher throws at Ruth Em7 He can't afford to miss Dm7 He held the ball Bb C Like a stolen kiss G F And the Babe just let it fly Em7 Dm7 Bb C And apologized like he'd hurt the guy G F Mad Ruth just loves to bitch Em7 She can afford to miss Dm7 She makes her deal Bb As you steal your kiss C G F And she never says goodbye Em7 She really loves the game Dm7 Bb G She hardly knows the guy Chorus: G Am7 Mad Ruth, you should have known the Babe F Em7 He loved the things he'd never had Dm7 And he made you happy Bb G As he made you sad Verse 3: C G F Babe here in my head Em7 Seems like he never left Dm7 Bb I heard the news like someone deaf C G F It was 1948 Em7 He'd played a game Dm7 Bb But he'd made it great C G F Mad Ruth sits on the couch Em7 In someone else's room Dm7 Bb "I win, oh, you lose C G F It's just a game," she'll say Em7 You know, she's right Dm7 Bb Em G But I'd still love to play Chorus: G Am7 Mad Ruth, you should have known the Babe Fmaj7 Em7 He loved the things he'd never had Dm7 And he made you happy Bb G As he made you sad Gmaj7 Am7 Mad Ruth, you would have loved the Babe Fmaj7 Em7 She wanted things you'd never had Dm7 And she made you happy G D G 'Til she left you sad Outro: G One evening I was thinkin' 'bout the babe G And the memories she left behind of the old ball game G And the shame of it all is that they're almost gone G But there's still a few pieces I can recall Am Mad Ruth, you should have known the Babe
