[Verse 1]
G C G
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
G Em D
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
G C G
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
C D G
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
C G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
D G
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Well I spent some time in the mudville nine watchin it from the bench
G Em D
You know I took some lumps when the mighty Case struck out.
G C G
So say hey willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe Dimaggio
C D G
Don't say 'it ain't so', you know the time is now.
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
C G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
D G
Look at me, I can be centerfield.

[Verse 3]
G C G
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
G Em D
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
G C G
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
C D G
(pop) it's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
C G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
D
Look at me, (yeah) I could be (centerfield)
G C G
Oh, put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
C G/B
Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today
D G
Look at me, gotta be centerfield. yeah!
