[Verse 1]
       G
Wella, beat the drum and hold the phone,
    C                  G
The sun came out today.
We're born again,
        Em                     D
there's new grass on the field.
 G
Aroundin' third, and headed for home,
       C                      G
It's a browneyed handsome man,
      C              D               G
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Ooohh

[Chorus]
G                                 C     G
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
                                  C     G
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
           D5/A         D           G
Look at me,    I can be, Centerfield

[Verse 2]
Well,
  G
I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
C                         G
Watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps,
         Em                    D
when the mighty Case struck out
   G
So "Say Hey" Willie,
                  C           G
tell the Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
      C
Don't say it ain't so
    D                   G
You know the time is now
Ooohh

[Chorus]
G                                 C     G
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
                                  C     G
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
           D5/A         D           G
Look at me,    I can be, Centerfield

[Verse 3]
G      G
 Got a beatup glove, a homemade bat
      C                       G
And a brand new pair of shoes.
                              Em                   D
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
        G
Just to hit the ball, and touch 'em all,
  C                G
a moment in the sun
      C                D                    G
It'sa gone and you can tell that one goodbye
Ooohh

[Chorus]
G                                 C     G
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
