The Greatest Tabulatur von Kenny Rogers (für Baryton)

[Verse 1]
D
Little Boy, in a baseball hat
       A                     G        D
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
D
Says I am the greatest player of them all
         A
Puts his bat on his shoulder 
       G             D
and he tosses up his ball

[Chorus]
        A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G                      D
Swings his bat all the way around
    A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
    G                            D
The baseball falls to the ground

[Verse 2]
D
Now the little boy doesn't say a word
      A                  G        D
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
D
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
    A
And he grits his teeth 
    G            D
and he tries it again

[Chorus]
        A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G                      D
Swings his bat all the way around
    A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
    G                            D
The baseball falls to the ground

[Bridge]
   Bm                   G
He makes no excuses, He shows no fears
        D                   A
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

[Verse 3]
D
Little boy, in a baseball hat
      A                   G      D
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
D
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
    A                G        D
And he gives his all one last time

[Chorus 2]
        A
And the ball goes up like the moon so bright
G
Swings his bat with all his might
        A
And the world's so still as still can be
        G
And the baseball falls, 
                        D
and that's strike three

[Outro]
D
Now it's supper time and his mama calls
       A
Little boy starts home 
         G       D
with his bat and ball
D
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
         A
But even I didn't know 
        G          D
I could pitch like that
D
He says I am the greatest that is understood
         A
But even I didn't know 
        G          D
I could pitch that good.
