Tom Paxton – The N Y Mets Victory And Commiseration Song (Guitar)

         E
Have you heard of the heroes who have lately come to town?

  E                              B7
A hard bitten corps of pro's and vets.

         E               E7             A
They are hardy, they are hale and their enemies turn pale

          E         A        E         B7       E
when they face that fearsome band, The New York Mets.

        E
They're devoted to their duties and they never shun or shirk

E                                          B7
They are ready day and night to give their all

        E            E7                A
With no sacrifice to great On occasion here of late

      E        A        E   B7  E
A Met has been known to hit the ball

      E
Their direction is supreme and their manage ment surperb

    E                                  B7
And Casey's clear instructions clearly ring

         E            E7                    A
The situation well in hand He will call out his command

    E      A           E    B7  E
And no one understands a goddam thing.

      E
Well, Mets are here to stay and they've won the whole town's hearts

    E                                    B7
And the love we bear for them will never end

        E                     E7                       A
For the Yanks have lost their sheen Since we found our own ball team

    E        A          E         B7     E
The New York Mets - the team that need a friend.
