(ver. 1)
Ry Cooder
[Intro]
 
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D               Dmaj
Mister, you’re a baseball man
D               Dmaj7
As anyone can plainly see
Em7                 A A6  A7
Greatest game in this great land
Em7            A7
Take a little tip from me
D                   D/C#
I work here nights parking cars
Bm7               D
Underneath the moon and the stars
Em7               A7
Same ones that we all knew
Em7      A7
Back in 1952
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       D
And if you wanna know
  D7            G                E7
Where a local boy like me is coming from
D           A           D
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D           Dmaj7
2nd base, right over there
D                         Dmaj7
I see Grandma in her rocking chair
Em7                        A7
Watching linens flapping in the breeze
Em7                             A7
And all the fellows choosing up their teams
D                       D/C#
Hand over hand on that Louisville
Bm7                (Dmaj7)
Crowning the top king of the hill
Em7                A7
Mound to home, sixty feet
Em7                    A6
Baseball been very good to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        D
And if you wanna know
  D7            G                E7
Where a local boy like me is coming from
D           A           D       Bm
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
G           A           D
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G
Back around the 76 ball
 
Johnny Green eyes had his shoeshine stall
        D
In the middle of the 1st base line
A
Got my first kiss, Florencia was kind
G
Now, if the dozer hadn’t taken my yard
 
You’d see the tree with our initials carved
D
So many moments in my memory
A                                       D
Well sure was fun, ‘cause the game was free
D               Em7     A7
It was free
D               Em7     A7
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
D                       Dmaj7
Hey Mister, you seem anxious to go
D                           Dma7
You’ll find that seat in the 7th row
Em7                      A7
Behind home plate, we used to meet
Em7                          A7
When we were young, we had dreams
D               D/C#
Just a place you don’t know
Bm7             D
Up a road you can’t go
Em7             A7
Just a thought, laid to rest
Em7             A7
In my mind, just a time
D                          D7
You care to know where I’m gonna go
G                          E7
When I hit my last home run
D           A           D   Bm
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
 
 
[Outro]
 
G           A             D
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
G           A             D
3rd base, Dodger Stadium
G              A                                D
Hey Mister, you are a baseball man
G              A                         D
Yes, I’m a baseball man myself
G               A                      D
Yes, I’m a baseball man too
G               A                 D
Baseball been very good to me
G               A                           D
Yes, baseball been very good to me
 
G A D
