Intro

 something with )

D (hammer on D-string, fourth fret sometimes)

The waters wide

Its deep and wide

 Its down a long and windy road

And everyone knows that a boy cant swim it

In narrows church

The white walled church

 Theyre singing that gospel song

bye and bye, i will see my king

The clouds will break

And the pews shake

And the choir softly cries

And its georgia in the spring of 1905 (and so on)

Ty cobb

Youre dead and gone

You had a game like a war machine

And through the great

Hall of fame you wander

In tigers field

A girl in heels

She had a face like a magazine

And through the long metal stands she wandered

The ball soared

The crowd roared

The scoreboard sweetly hummed

And tomorrow youll surely know whose won

Im on first

And youre on third

And all the wolves are all between

And everyones sure that the game is over

The catchers hard

Hes mean mean and hard

And he nips at the batters heels

And everyones sure that the game is over

The ball soars

And the crowd roars

And the scoreboard sweetly hums

And tomorrow youll surely know whose won

The waters wide

Its deep and wide

Its a down a long and windy road

And everyone knows that a boy cant swim it

The clouds break

And the pews shake

And the preachers feet do pound

As the rain beats the streets of cooperstown
