Peter, Paul and Mary - Right field

S^Gaturday ^G/F#summers, when ^EmI was a kid We'd ^Crun to the schoolyard and ^Amhere's what we ^Ddid We'd ^Cpick out the ^Dcaptains and we'd ^Cchoose up the ^Dteams It was ^Galways a ^G/F#measure of ^Emmy self esteem Cuz the ^Cfastest, the strongest, played ^Amshortstop and first The ^Clast ones they picked were the ^Dworst ^FI never needed to ask, it was sealed, I just ^Dtook up my place in right field.

Playing...^Gright ^G/F#field, it's ^Emeasy, you know. ^CYou can be awkward and ^Amyou can be slow That's why ^CI'm here in ^Dright field Just ^Cwatching the ^Ddandelions ^Ggrow ^{C G}

Playing ^Gright ^G/F#field can be ^Emlonely and dull ^CLittle Leagues ^C/Bnever have ^Amlefties that ^Dpull I'd ^Cdream of the ^Dday they'd ^Chit one my ^Dway ^GThey never ^G/F#did, but ^Emstill I would pray That ^CI'd make a fantastic ^Amcatch on the run And ^Cnot lose the ball in the ^Dsun And ^Fthen I'd awake from this long reverie And ^Dpray that the ball never came out to me

Here in ^Gright ^G/F#field, it's ^Emeasy, you know. ^CYou can be awkward and ^Amyou can be slow That's why ^CI'm here in ^Dright field Just ^Cwatching the ^Ddandelions ^Ggrow ^{C G}

^GOff in the ^G/F#distance, the ^Emgame's dragging on, There's ^Cstrikes on the batter, some ^Amrunners are ^Don. I ^Cdon't know the ^Dinning, I've ^Cforgotten the ^Dscore. The ^Gwhole team is ^G/F#yelling and I ^Emdon't know what for. Then ^Csuddenly everyone's ^Amlooking at me My ^Cmind has been wandering; ^Dwhat could it be? They ^Fpoint to the sky and I look up above And the ^Dbaseball falls into my glove!

Here in ^Gright ^G/F#field, it's im^Emportant you know. You gotta ^Cknow how to catch, you gotta ^Amknow how to throw, That's why ^CI'm here in ^Dright field, ^Cjust watching the ^Ddandelions ^Ggrow! ^{C G}
