Throwing out runners on a frozen rope

He's the man, number 51

From the land of the rising sun

So don't you take your eye

Off Ichiro
[Verse 3]
E
He stops the ball with the greatest of ease

         F#m                  A
And when he steals second, he don't say please

E
If they're not careful he'll take third too

Oh Ichiro it's why we love you.
