The crack of the bat

The smell of the grass

The sun on my face; Cold beer with my friends

It’s time to play; And take the field again

And we’re all here to celebrate the crowning of our season

And we all know why we’re here, you’ve got us all believin’

Leave behind the tales of past glories
Eb             Cm
Take it from a friend

Sit right back and let the games begin

The smell of the grass
