Words & music by Paul Simon 1975
|D A7 |Dmaj7
There were two men down
|G D7 |G
And the score was tied
E7 |F#m D |Bm7
In the bottom of the eighth
|Dm6 |A |
When the pitcher died
A7 |D A7 |Dmaj7
And they laid his spikes
|G D7 |G
On the pitcher's mound
E7 |F#m D |Bm7
And his uni-form was torn
|Dm6 |
And his number was left on the ground
E |Am F |Am |
Then the night turned cold
Bbmaj7 |
Colder than the moon
|Gm |Dm
The stars were white as bones
|Bmaj7 | |
The stadium was old
E | |
Older than the screams
A |
Older than the teams
|D A7 |Dmaj7
There were three men down
|G D7 |G
And the season lost
E7 |Bm |Em |Bbmaj7 |
And the tarpaulin was ro---lled
|D A7 |Dmaj7 |
Upon the winter frost
G D7 |G D7 G|D Em |A |D | |
