1st verse:
A                           A
Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
E                              E
Tessie is the tune they always sung
E                             E
Tessie echoed April through October nights
      A                             E
After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young
A                          A
Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
E                         E
Tessie is a maiden with a love
E                            E
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
A                           E
She's got a comment full of love

And sometimes when the game is on the line
       E                    E
Tessie always carried them away
       E                       E
Up the road from Third Base to Huntington
    A                          E      X
The boys will always sing and sway      (Two! Three! Four!)

They found their seats had all been sold

McGreevy led the charge into the park

Stormed the gates and put the game on hold

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
E                        E
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
