Chords with lyrics

Intro: E MajorE

  E MajorE              A/EA/E         E MajorE
I hear the church bells ring, Willie Mays is up at bat
  E MajorE           A/EA/E            E MajorE
I hear the crowd go wild, all he did was touch his hat
    C# minorC#m                         E MajorE
Well, meanwhile Carol Doda stood up and said I won?t be ignored
   E MajorE               A augmentedA                E MajorE
She showed ?em everything she had, then she showed ?em all a little more

 E MajorE              A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Jim Jones and his Temple, on Gary Street right next to Young Bill Brown
 E MajorE                A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Jim he walked right up to Bill, clicked his heels, said you know who I am
 C# minorC#m                                E MajorE
Meanwhile Bugs and Daffy Duck were hitchin up the coast to Pismo Beach
    E MajorE                  A augmentedA            E MajorE
While over in the in the Tonkin Golf, the Navy took a hit or so it seems

Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight, oh

 E MajorE                 A/EA/E                  E MajorE
Laughin Sal said please don't go, don't leave me here alone and make a stand
        E MajorE           A augmentedA                   E MajorE
She looked so faded in the twilight, down there where the breakers meet the sand
  C# minorC#m                                 E MajorE
Now someone said to Laughin Sal, hey Laughin Sal, just what you laughin at?
       E MajorE            A augmentedA              E MajorE
She said I'm only laughin at myself, keep it down, Willie's up at bat

 E MajorE        G#G#       A augmentedA  F#F#  E MajorE          G#G#        A augmentedA   F#F# E MajorE
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight, oh

 E MajorE                   A/EA/E              E MajorE
Well that was all so long ago, there's always something else to be against
     E MajorE                A augmentedA                E MajorE
And the only thing we know for sure, is Willie always did swing for the fence, come on

 E MajorE        G#G#       A augmentedA  F#F#  E MajorE          G#G#        A augmentedA   F#F# E MajorE

 E MajorE        G#G#       A augmentedA  F#F#  E MajorE          G#G#        A augmentedA   F#F#
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight
