Verse:


G+G   C majorC     D MajorD G+G       C majorC     D MajorD
86 summers gone by, Bambino put a hex on the Bean

E minorEm          A7A7       E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD
 We were living on a tear and a sigh, in the shadow of the Bronx Machine

G+G         C majorC    D MajorD   G+G            C majorC   D MajorD
 Man, you could feel it smolder, the whole town had an attitude

E minorEm           A7A7         E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD
Then they get a little chip on the shoulder, say something that's downright rude

G+G  C majorC      D MajorD   G+G           C majorC   D MajorD
Oh, damn them Yankees, outspending everybody two to one

E minorEm        A7A7         E minorEm         C majorC  G+G   D MajorD
Picking up on the cream of the crop, stealing everyone's favorite son

Chorus:

D MajorD A augmentedA    E MajorE        B minorBm          E MajorE   A minorAm       C majorC D MajorD
Angels of Fenway hear our prayers, we have been patient, we have been jacent


Verse:

G+G        C majorC   D MajorD  G+G     C majorC    D MajorD
Grandmama was a Fenway fan, even after Grandad died

E minorEm          A7A7       E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD
I still remember her holding my hand, taking me along for the ride

G+G        C majorC  D MajorD G+G          C majorC    D MajorD
She was born in 19 18, last year that the Red Sox won

E minorEm         A7A7      E minorEm          C majorC       D MajorD
Back the when they sold the Babe, something that they never shoulda ever have done

Bridge:

One more!

B minorBm       G+G
Hey Nanna can I have another Coke?

B minorBm        E MajorE       A augmentedA  A augmentedA       GbmGbm
  Here come the hot dog ma-----n, look at that, his bat just broke

A augmentedA         GbmGbm
Gee, that's got to kill his hand

B minorBm        G+G      B minorBm          E MajorE
Riding out on the Green Line, watching the town go by

A augmentedA         GbmGbm     A augmentedA        D MajorD
Nanna made another Red Sox fan, till the day I die


Verse:

G+G        C majorC   D MajorD  G+G          C majorC     D MajorD
That was back in sixty-five, doesn't seem like a long time ago

E minorEm        A7A7     E minorEm         C majorC    D MajorD
Grandmama keeping hope alive, watch them win in double-o-four

G+G          C majorC     D MajorD G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
Oh my God, it was beyond belief, down 3 needing 4 in a row

E minorEm        A7A7        E minorEm       C majorC    D MajorD
Holding on by the skin of our teeth, like a hungry dog on a bone

Chorus:

D MajorD A augmentedA    E MajorE        B minorBm          E MajorE   A minorAm    C majorC D MajorD
Angels of Fenway give them peace, they have been patient, Red Sox nation


Last Verse:

G+G        C majorC     D MajorD   G+G      C majorC       D MajorD
The whole world held it's breath, people got down on their knees

E minorEm       A7A7      E minorEm          C majorC    D MajorD
Waiting for the sudden death, praying to heaven for hell to freeze

G+G           C majorC    D MajorD  G+G            C majorC     D MajorD
Nanna watched from her hospital bed, she was there till the end of the race

E minorEm           A7A7             E minorEm         C majorC  D MajorD
I couldn't hear the last word she said but she was lying there with a smile on her face


G+G     C majorC  D MajorD E minorEm       C majorC  D MajorD
          Just a little smile on her face

G+G     C majorC  D MajorD E minorEm         C majorC  D MajorD      G+G
          Doesn't seem like long time ago
