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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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