   E                           A/E                  E
I hear the church bells ring, Willie Mays is up at bat
   E                      A/E                       E
I hear the crowd go wild, all he did was touch his hat
       C#m                                                 E
Well, meanwhile Carol Doda stood up and said I won't be ignored 
     E                              A                                E
She showed 'em everything she had, then she showed 'em all a little more

 E                            A                                     E
Jim Jones and his Temple, on Gary Street right next to Young Bill Brown
 E                                A                                     E
Jim he walked right up to Bill, clicked his heels, said you know who I am
 C#m                                                               E
Meanwhile Bugs and Daffy Duck were hitchin up the coast to Pismo Beach
       E                                   A                        E
While over in the in the Tonkin Golf, the Navy took a hit or so it seems

  E               G#             A    F#   E                   G#               A      F# E
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight, oh

 E                                 A/E                                   E
Laughin Sal said please don't go, don't leave me here alone and make a stand
               E                      A                                      E
She looked so faded in the twilight, down there where the breakers meet the sand
    C#m                                                                  E
Now someone said to Laughin Sal, hey Laughin Sal, just what you laughin at?
             E                        A                            E
She said I'm only laughin at myself, keep it down, Willie's up at bat

  E               G#             A    F#   E                   G#               A      F# E
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight, oh

 E                                     A/E                            E
Well that was all so long ago, there's always something else to be against
         E                               A                               E
And the only thing we know for sure, is Willie always did swing for the fence, come on

  E               G#             A    F#   E                   G#               A      F# E
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight, oh
  E               G#             A    F#   E                   G#               A     F#
Three on and two outs under the lights, oh, nobody knows who'll make it home tonight

Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight
