-- tabbed by liljask13 [Verse 1]
D
Little Boy, in a baseball hat

       A                     G        D
Stands in the field with his ball and bat

(D)
Says I am the greatest player of them all

         A                          G             D
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
[Chorus]
        A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down

G                      D
Swings his bat all the way around

    A
The world's so still you can hear the sound

    G                            D
The baseball falls to the ground
[Verse 2]
(D)
Now the little boy doesn't say a word

      A                  G       D
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred

(D)
Says I am the greatest there has ever been

    A                         G         D
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again
[Chorus]
        A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down

G                      D
Swings his bat all the way around

    A
The world's so still you can hear the sound

    G                            D
The baseball falls to the ground
[Bridge]
   Bm                   G
He makes no excuses, he shows no fear

        D                   A
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
[Verse 3]
D
Little boy, he adjusts his hat

      A                   G      D
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat

(D)
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line

       A             G        D
And he gives his all one last time
[Chorus]
        A
And the ball goes up like the moon so bright

G                   
Swings his bat with all his might

        A
And the world's so still as still can be

        G                                       D
And the baseball falls, and that's strike three
[Outro]
(D)
Now it's supper time and his mama calls

       A                        G       D
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball

(D)
Says I am the greatest that is a fact

         A                     G          D
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that

(D)
Says I am the greatest that is understood

         A                     G          D
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good
