Willy "Tea" Taylor - Brand New Game
verse:
D
My brother moved away
searching for the shining light
G
now he's working in a restaurant
D
and he's cooking every night
D
well me i stuck around
just living in this town
G
i've got so many friends here
D
and it keeps me around
D
i'm dreaming every day
hell, i've drempt my life away
G
like when i was a boy
D
i'd go catchin for detroit
D
my brother was a yankee
my buddy whitey was a met
G
we'd all win the pennant
D
with a game winning hit
D
now whitey's diggin ditches
and i'm unemployed
G
we grounded out on wishes
D
far from being little boys
chorus:
F#7 G
and we never thought
D
life would get so real
F#7 G
cuz we always thought
D
life was a baseball field
F#7 G
and even if we lost
D
well we'd never complain
F#7 G
there's always tomorrow
D
and a brand new game
verse:
D
My old man didn't see us
quite as often as he'd like
G
but he taught us how to catch and throw
D
and a baseball way of life
D
like how to take a grounder
when it's bouncing off your face
G
and picking up that baseball
D
still gun him out at first base
D
my old man he's an outfielder
he grew up on a farm
G
catching flyballs in the pasture
D
he's got a cannon for an arm
D
he taught me how to love life
just by playin in a game
G
he's still dreamin bout the giants
D
shaggin balls with willie mays
chorus:
F#7 G
and he never thought
D
life would get so real
F#7 G
cuz he always thought
D
life was a baseball field
F#7 G
and even if he lost
D
well he'd never complain
F#7 G
there's always tomorrow
D
and a brand new game
verse:
D
i got a boy of my own
and he'll grow up to a man
G
and i'll teach him about baseball
D
so he'll understand
D
how to take a pitch and strike out
and get right back at the plate
G
crack one up the middle
D
and go 3 for 4 that day
chorus:
F#7 G
and he'll never think
D
life will get so real
F#7 G
cuz he'll always think
D
life's a baseball field
F#7 G
