Peter, Paul and Mary - Right field

^GSaturday summers when ^EmI was a kid, We'd r^Cun to the school yard and ^Amhere's what we did, We'd ^Cpick out the ^D7captains and we'd ^Cchoose up the ^D7teams, It was ^Galways a measure of ^Emmy self esteem. Cause the ^Cfastest, the strongest played ^Amshortstop and first, The ^Amlast ones they picked were the ^D7worst. ^FI never needed to ask it was sealed I just ^Dmtook up my place in right ^D7field.

Playing ^Gright field, its ^Emeasy you know, ^CYou can be ^D7awkward, ^Cyou can be ^D7slow, That's why ^CI'm here in ^Amright field, Just ^Amwatching the ^D7dandelions ^Ggrow.

Playing ^Gright field can be ^Emlonely and dull, ^CLittle leagues never have ^Amlefties that pull, I ^Cdream of the ^D7day, when they ^Chit one my ^D7way, ^GThey never did, but still I wo^Emuld pray, That I'd ^Cmake a fant^Amastic ^Ccatch on the ^Amrun, And ^Cnot lose the ^Amball in the ^D7sun. And ^Cthen I'd aw^Amake from this ^Clong rever^Amie, And ^Cpray that the ^Amball never ^Ccame out to ^Amme.

Here in ^Gright field, its ^Emeasy you know, ^CYou can be ^D7awkward, ^Cyou can be ^D7slow, That's why ^CI'm here in ^Amright field, Just ^Amwatching the ^D7dandelions ^Ggrow.

^GOff in the distance, the ^Emgame's dragging on, There's ^Cstrikes on the batter, some ^Amrunners are on, I ^Cdon't know the ^D7inning, I've for^Cgotten the ^D7score. The ^Gwhole team is yelling, and I ^Emdon't know what for. ^CSuddenly ^Ameveryone's ^Clooking at ^Amme, My ^Cmind has been ^Amwandering, ^Cwhat could it ^D7be? They ^Cpoint to the ^Amsky and I ^Clook up a^Ambove, And the ^Cbaseball falls ^Aminto my ^D7glove!

Here in ^Gright field, Its ^Cimportant you ^Amknow, You gotta ^Cknow how to ^Amcatch, you gotta ^Cknow how to ^D7throw, That's why ^CI'm here in right^Am field, Just ^Amwatching the ^D7dandelions ^Ggrow. ^{G C Am D7 G}
