G                        Em               C              D
  There's a ball park in heaven where the minor leaguers play,
Em                D               C          Am
  those who never made it big but love it anyway,
Em                  C                  G                D
  the popcorn still tastes as good the hot-dogs are the same
Em                      C                 D                G
  the fans who come all love the game and not the players' names

              Am          D       G               Em
And there's a seat in the crowd engraved with his name,
  C                 D                   Em              Am              D
a seat just halfway down the first base line. It's been waiting for him there
       G                Em       Am                    C              D
and he gladly takes his chair to watch the sport where players number nine


          G         Em          C               D
It's been many many years since he saw his last park
        Em        D                   C                 Am
but the radio maintained his link and kept him from the dark
Em                  C         G                    D
  he knew a hundred stations, announcers who would call
Em                 C                   D                 G
  what this umpire judged a strike and that one judged a ball

              Am          D       G               Em
And there's a seat in the crowd engraved with his name,
  C                 D                   Em              Am              D
a seat just halfway down the first base line. It's been waiting for him there
       G                Em       Am                    C              D
and he gladly takes his chair to watch the sport where players number nine
   Am                    D              G
to watch the sport where players number nine
