Capo 1

D
Little Boy, in a baseball hat
A G D
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
(D)
Says I am the greatest player of them all
A G D
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G D
Swings his bat all the way around
A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
G D
The baseball falls to the ground
(D)
Now the little boy doesn't say a word
A G D
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
(D)
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
A G D
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again
A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G D
Swings his bat all the way around
A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
G D
The baseball falls to the ground
Bm G
He makes no excuses, he shows no fear
D A
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
D
Little boy, he adjusts his hat
A G D
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
(D)
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
A G D
And he gives his all one last time
A
And the ball goes up like the moon so bright
G
Swings his bat with all his might
A
And the world's so still as still can be
G D
And the baseball falls, and that's strike three
(D)
Now it's supper time and his mama calls
A G D
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
(D)
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
A G D
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that
(D)
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
A G D
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good
