Willie Mays at a Scottsdale Home Depot

Looking at garage door springs
G
C
D
at the far end of the 14th row
G
Bm
D
Em
His wife stood there beside him
D
G
D
Em
C
She was quiet and they both were proud
G
D
I gave them room but
Em
Bm
was close enough
G
C
D
G
That I heard him when he said out loud
D
Em
D
This was my country,
G
D
Em
C
this was my song
G
Em
Somewhere in the middle there
D
C
Though it started badly and
D
G
it's ending wrong
D
Em
D
This was my country,
G
D
Em
C
this frightful and this angry land
G
D
But it's my right,
Em
D
if the worst of it might still
F
C
Somehow make me a
G
C
G
D
better man
G
D
Em
The sun is unforgiving
D
G
And there's nobody
D
Em
who would choose this town
C
G
But we've squandered
D
Em
so much of our goodwill
D
C
That there's nowhere else
D
G
we'll have us now
D
Em
D
We push in line at the picture show
G
D
Em
C
For cool air and a chance to see
G
D
Em
D
A vision of ourselves portrayed as
D
G
humble and free
Em
D
This was our country
G
D
Em
C
This was our song
G
D
Em
Somewhere in the middle there
D
C
Though it started badly and
D
G
D
it's ending wrong
Em
D
This was our country
G
D
Em
C
To this frightful and this angry land
G
D
Em
D
But it's my right if the worst of it might
F
C
Still somehow make me a bet

I've started something
Em
G
I can't finish
D
G
Em
G
C
And I barely leave the house, it's true
G
D
G
I keep a wrap on my sores and joints
C
D
But yes, I've had my blessings too
G
D
G
I've got my mother's pretty feet
D
G
And a factory keeps
Em
G
my house in shape
C
G
My children,
they've both been paroled
D
C
D
And we get by on the peace

Em
D
G
I feel safe so far from heaven
D
Em
C
From towers and their ocean views
G
D
From here I see the fu
Em
D
ture coming across
C
D
G
What soon will be beaches too
Em
D
But that was him, I'm almost sure
G
D
Em
C
The greatest center fielder of all time
G
D
Stooped by the burden
Em
D
C
of endless dreams
D
G
His and yours and mine
D
Em
D
He hooked each spring beneath his foot
G
Em
He leaned over and he
G
D
Em
Testing each against his weight,
D
C
for one that had some play
G
D
Em
D
G
He's just like us, I wanna tell him,
D
Em
G
and our needs are small enough
C
G
D
Em
Something to slow a heavy door,
D
C
D
G
something to help us raise one up
D

This was my country

D
Em
D
This was God's country
G
D
Bm
Em
C
This frightful and this angry land
G
D
Em
But if it's His will, the worst of it
D
F
might still somehow
C
G
C
G
make me a better man
D

If it's His will, the worst of it
