Verse 1
C 
Em 
Am 
I  saw Willie Mays
G 
C 
Em 
G 
Em 
Am 
F 
In a Scottsdale Home Depot
C 
Em 
G 
He was looking at gar
Am 
C 
age door springs
Em 
F 
G 
C 
at the far end of the 14th Road.
Em 
Am 
G 
His wife stood there beside him.
C 
Em 
G 
Am 
F 
She was quiet and they both were proud.
C 
G 
Am 
I  gave him room but I was close enough.
F 
G 
C 
I heard him, when he said out loud
Em 
Am 
G 
C 
This was my country
G 
Am 
F 
This was my song,
C 
Em 
Am 
somewhere in the middle there
C 
F 
Though it started badly and
G 
C 
it's ending wrong
Em 
Am 
G 
This was my country,
C 
G 
Am 
this frightful and this angry land
F 
C 
G 
But it's my right,
Em 
Am 
C 
Bb 
if the worst of it might still somehow
F 
C 
F 
C 
G 
C 
make me a better man
Em 
Am 
Well, the sun is unforgiving,
G 
C 
Em 
Am 
an d   there's nobody who
F 
C 
would choose this town.
Em 
G 
Am 
We've squandered so much
C 
of our goodwill,
F 
there's no one left who'll
G 
C 
have us now.
Em 
Am 
G 
We push in line at the picture shows
C 
Em 
Am 
F 
C 
Em 
G 
Am 
for cool air and   a chance to see visions of our self -betrayed
C 
Em 
F 
G 
C 
as  younger and braver and humble and free.
Em 
Am 
G 
This was our country
C 
G 
Am 
F 
This was our song
C 
G 
Em 
Am 
Somewhere in the middle there
Em 
C 
Em 
F 
Though it started badly
G 
C 
and it's ending wrong
Em 
Am 
G 
C 
This was our country,
G 
Am 
this frightful and this angry land
F 
C 
Em 
But it's my right,
Am 
C 
Bb 
if the worst of it might still somehow
F 
C 
F 
C 
G 
C 
make me a better man
Em 
Am 
Em 
G 
I   started something that I can't finish
C 
Em 
Am 
Now I barely leave the house,
F 
that's true
C 
Em 
G 
But from here I can see
Am 
the future coming
C 
F 
G 
C 
Over what soon will be beaches, too
Em 
Am 
G 
But that was him, I'm almost sure,
C 
Em 
G 
Am 
F 
the greatest center fielder of all time.
C 
Em 
Am 
Stooped by the bur dens
C 
F 
of endless dreams
G 
of his and yours and mine.
C 
Em 
He hooked each spring
Am 
G 
beneath his foot.
C 
Em 
Am 
He leaned over, then he stood upright
F 
C 
Em 
G 
Em 
Am 
Testing each against  his weight
Em 
F 
For one that had some
G 
play and some fight
C 
Em 
Am 
He's just like us,
I want to tell him
G 
C 
G 
Am 
F 
An d our needs are small enough,
C 
Em 
F 
C 
Something to slow a heavy door,
F 
G 
And something to help us raise one
Em 
C 
G 
C 
Em 
up.
Am 
G 
C 
This was my country,
Em 
G 
Em 
Am 
F 
This was my song,
C 
Em 
G 
Am 
F 
And somewhere in the middle there,
C 
G 
F 
G 
Though it started badly and it's ending wrong,
C 
Em 
G 
Em 
Am 
G 
This was God's country,
C 
G 
Am 
F 
This frightful and this angry land,
C 
G 
But if it's His will,
Em 
Am 
C 
Then the worst of it might
Bb 
still somehow
F 
C 
Somehow, make me a better man
F 
C 
If it's His will,
G 
Am 
C 
then the worst of it might still
Bb 
F 
C 
Somehow, make me a better man
