C majorC
I used to sit with my dad in the garage
That sawdust that pine sol and the moss
Around every spring when the winter thaw
We'd huddle around the radio twist the broken knob
C majorC C majorC
710 AM no KJR Dave Niehaus voice would echo throughout the yard
C majorC
Couldn't have been older than 10
But to me and my friends
C majorC
The voice on the other end might as well have been God's
FF
1995 the division series
FF
Edgars up to bat
C majorC
Bottom of the 11th inning got the whole town listening,
C majorC
Swung on and belted the words that started, Joey Cora rounds third
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Here comes Griffey the throw to the plate's not in time
G+G
My oh my the Mariners win it
A minorAm G+G FF
Yes, fire works they lit up ceiling in the king dome
C majorC
We had just made history.
[Dave Niehaus announcing:]
And swung, Lined down the left field line for a base hit!
Here comes Joey! Here comes Junior to third base!
They're gonna wave him in! the throw to the plate will be late!
FF
The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship!
C majorC
I don't believe it! It just continues! MY OH MY!
C majorC
Laces woven barley holdin' that stitch
The creases are time amongst the grime and the grit
Where the leather he used to pound his fists
To some it's just a mitt, but see that glove was him
C majorC
Yep, tell me stories on the field with that sun stained brim
C majorC
Blood under my chin, he taught me how to spit
C majorC C majorC
Sunflower seeds back when me and my crew sun burnt arms
FF
Big league chew, yeah we were like the sand lot after dinner
FF
After practice we listen to the M's in the kitchen
C majorC
And if mom wasn't trippin' come on dad please I swear just one more inning
C majorC E minorEm G+G
Voice went pump pump through the system break out the Rye bread it's grand salami time
C majorC G+G A minorAm
My oh My another victory yes, my city my city.
G+G FF C majorC
Childhood my life watchin' Griffey right under those lights
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC (x6)
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G G MajorG E minorEm G+G
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Under that light rain gleaming in that night came, can't stop now
FF G+G G+G
Keep moving no break pads came here to prove a point, live my life on the field
E minorEm G+G
Make history in between the base path
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
And compete against the fear that is in me that's my only barrier and I swear I'm going to break that
G+G G+G E minorEm G+G
From the mud the cleats that we drug threw the feet this is that moment and you cannot take it back
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
I don't really collect cards anymore, just a box and some old card board
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
Memories embedded in the dust, in the fighters that age just like us livin' some where off in the drawer
C majorC
This is what you make of it yeah we play to win
E minorEm
Live it like we're under the lights of the stadium fight until the day that God decided to wave us in,
Right until he waves us in
C majorC
It's my city my city childhood my life that's right right under those lights
E minorEm
My city my city childhood that's right Niehaus
C majorC
My oh My come on, my city my city childhood my life that's right under those lights
