Verse:
G/C             C            Cmaj7
I remember when baseball was everything
       Am/C                      G/C
It was Little League, but what a big game
           Am                     Dm
There were two men on and one man out
        C                Cmaj7
I got a fastball hangin' outside
  Am/C                G/C
I swung that bat with all my might
Am                                Dm
And the ball was gone, they say I knocked the cover off
F                                 C                        G
It was the only homer that I ever had, you shoulda seen my dad

Chorus:
          C                                    F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm                            F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
    G                        F
The ball was soarin' and the crowd was roarin'
          Em                 G/D
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

Instrumental:
| C Cmaj7 | Am/C G/C

      C                  Cmaj7
I was nineteen, it was a good job
       Am/C     G/C
Movin' TVs on a loading dock
         Am                                 Dm
'Til the boss said, "Son, try to lose every seventh one
         C                 Cmaj7
I got it worked out with a good friend
          Am/C                  G/C
Keep your mouth shut, and we'll cut you in
    Am                                    Dm
Now what do you say, don't you want to be rich one day"
F                           C                    G
I lost a real good job that night, but I kept my pride

Chorus:
          C                                    F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm                            F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
  G                         F
I said goodbye with my head held high
          Em                 G/D               C
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me

Bridge:
    F            Em            Dm                 Em
And sometimes it feels like my best years are be- hind me
     F               Em                 Eb               Dm
Then somehow, out of nowhere, something sneaks up to re- mind me

          C          Cmaj7        Am/C              G/C
Like this mornin', I woke up to a little voice that spoke up
Am                                    Dm
Sayin', "Daddy, please, fix a bowl of Rice Krispies
F                                          C                    G
You're the bestest friend that I ever had, you know I love you, Dad"

Chorus:
          C                                    F
And there ain't nobody gonna take that from me as long as I'm holdin' on
C
Heaven wouldn't ask it of me, the devil on a good day ain't that strong
Dm                            F
I'm keepin' it here inside me as long as I live and breathe
G                 F                        Em                 Dm
I got more than I ever asked for and there ain't nobody gonna take that from me
