Verse 1
(A minor) I went (E major) (A minor) (D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (C major) (F major)
(E major) (A minor) down to St. (E major) Luke's Coliseum
(A minor) to smoke me an after (D minor) noon chunk
(E major) It was down (D minor) to the (E major) very last (A minor) inning
and the usu (F major) al crowd (E major) was drunk (A minor)
What be the score, (E major) I inquired (A minor)
But that crowd so quickly (D minor) turned glum
(E major) For two batters (D minor) were (E major) retired
And (A minor) that score (F major) was none (E major) to none
(A minor) Well, it looked a bad day
(E major) for (A minor) the home team
To settle for a tie (D minor) at be (E major) st
With only one (D minor) chance left
(E major) for victory's (A minor) dream
The (C major) (E major) nex (F major) t batter being (E major) the last (A minor)
Some folks would be (E major) satisfied
(A minor) To have a tie on (D minor) a day like this (E major)
With that sun (A minor) going down (E major)
in (A minor) that blue sky
Some would go (F major) to their (E major) beer in (A minor) bliss
But the fluke's the fluke's
(E major) that dif (A minor) ferent
The coach squinted like
(F major) Woody the (D minor) Great (E major)
And unravel (D minor) ing his gnarled (E major) (A minor) fingers
He sent a pinch (F major) hitter up (E major) to the plate
(A minor) The umpire adjus (E major) ted his (A minor) spectacles
The crowd gasped as (D minor) if it were one
(E major) It was Mo (D minor) jo,
(E major) the loose joints deal (A minor) er
Who'd been sleep (F major) ing
all day (E major) in the sun (A minor)
Now Mojo stepped into that batter's box
He stood there straight (D minor) as a tower (E major)
Looked out (D minor) through his
mirrored (E major) (A minor) sunglasses
That hadn't been (F major) looked
out through (E major) for hours (A minor)
By that pitcher he reared (E major) back and fired (A minor)
Down that forty -five feet (D minor) sailed that ball (E major)
Then Mojo just stood there lookin' tired (A minor)
An (E major) d that um (F major) pire said
noth (E major) in' at all (A minor)
One, two, three, four, (E major) (A minor) five pitches
Sailed down across that forty -five (E major) feet
Mojo just hitched (A minor) his bridges
Till the coun (F major) t was (A minor) full (E major) and complete
(A minor) (D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (F major) (E major)
(A minor) The pitcher,
he looked in (E major) there one time
(A minor) He gave it his very (D minor) best case (E major)
Mojo (D minor) just blinked (E major) one little eye (A minor)
Ball (C major) (A minor) four, (F major) said the ump (E major) to (A minor) first base
Well, let him go, let him go, (E major) God bless (A minor) him
Said that coach on down
(D minor) there by the base (E major)
And the nex (D minor) t batter hit (E major) a two (A minor) -bouncer
Like a grapefruit (F major) that shortstop (E major) could taste (A minor)
Ah, but Mojo,
he's a (E major) -headin' for a (A minor) second
He yells out to the shortstop,
(D minor) hey, freeze (E major)
And the shortstop (D minor) looks up (E major) for a second
(A minor) And that ground (F major) er skipped
right (E major) through his knees (A minor)
Well, he threw down his
buck (E major) et an (A minor) d model
He let out a hellacious (D minor) word (E major)
Something (D minor) like fluke (E major) but more front (A minor) al
His mo (F major) jo starts heading (E major) for third (A minor)
(D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (F major) (E major)
(A minor)
Then over there on (E major) the side (A minor) line,
a dust cloud came (D minor) into view
(E major) Took a right (D minor) turn at (E major) the third baseline, (A minor)
and (F major) straight on down a home (E major) plated blue
(A minor) That ball came to a stop in the outfield
You can see all it seem (D minor) s at (E major) rest
And Mo (D minor) jo,
he's rounding (E major) that corner (A minor)
He's a -puttin' (F major) that scoreless
tie (E major) to a test (A minor)
Outfielders converged on that spheroid
The catcher, he braced (D minor) for his (E major) doom
And into that primeval
(A minor) (E major) sand (A minor) storm
Face first, (F major) the Mojo (E major) man flew (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
(D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (F major) (E major) (A minor)
Crossed somewhere the
fireside of baseball
Came the sound of leather (D minor) on man (E major)
Both benches (D minor) emptied (E major) in uni (A minor) son
You're out, (F major) came the voice (E major) from the sand
(A minor) Oh, you're crazy,
that coach screamed in anguish
As he tore loose his arm (D minor) from its (E major) cast
But that um (D minor) pire,
(A minor) he'd made his decision
He'd called this (F major) ball game over (E major) at last (A minor)
But then, mojo, he says, Mr., Mr., umpire
Now, don't you be so (D minor) quick to quit
(E major) Before you go (D minor) calling this
game over (A minor) in time
How about a look (F major) in that fair
catcher's (E major) mit (A minor) t?
Yeah, let's see that ball
came to cry the whole team
And that catcher, he stood (D minor) there so tall (E major)
But soon (D minor) he was look (E major) ing so (A minor) sheepish
Cause that glove (F major) was holding
nothing (E major) at all (A minor)
Well, they searched for that
ball in the backstop
They inquired a sidewalk passes (D minor) by
(E major) They even (D minor) looked over in (E major) Hoboken (A minor)
In it crossed (F major) the river on (E major) the fly
(A minor) They put ol' Mojo up
(E major) on their shoulders (A minor)
They made him the king (D minor) for a day
(E major) They said, hey, Mojo, (D minor) man,
how you make (E major) that ball (A minor)
Disappear up (F major) in smoke just (E major) like a jade (A minor)
Well, Mojo, he says, boy,
it's one thing I've found
If you're going to survive
(D minor) in the woods (E major)
When the men in (D minor) blue start sniffing (E major) (A minor) around
The best thing to do (F major) is to just eat (E major) the
(A minor) goods (D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor) (F major)
(E major) (A minor)
Then Mojo gets up (E major) off (A minor) that barstool
Runs into that porcelain
(D minor) goddess and he (E major) pukes
And he coughs (D minor) up the game ball
(E major) while the play (A minor) ers look on
The aston (F major) ished St. (E major) Luke's flutes
(A minor) Well, I'll be a crazy man,
said that coach
You know I've never seen
this in (D minor) the game plan
(E major) And they went (D minor) to that scorebook
(E major) an (A minor) d somebody wrote
Hello, (F major) Flounder in (E major) the Sand
(A minor) Now whenever they talk about baseball
They remember that old (D minor) catcher's (E major) mitt
And they say (D minor) of old Mojo,
(E major) he's (A minor) the greatest of all
He's that flute (F major) that won't ever (E major) say quit (A minor) (D minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor)
(F major) (E major) (A minor) (E major) (A minor) (E major) (D minor) (E major)
(A minor) (F major) (E major) (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
You
(E major)
