Tonart: D major
Verse 1
D
He looked like an apparition,
F#m
like a ghost without the sheet
G
But his eyes burned like a stovepipe
A
as he limped along the street
D
He walked by me slow but firmly,
F#m
I knew he wouldn't stop to chat
G
Still I thought that I might help him
A
He shook his head and touched his hat
G
He said, I've come to see the babe
Bm
They say babe Ruth is dying
A
I've come to lift his spirit
E
Just like he once lifted mine
G
I can't promise any homers
F
But I'll be up there swinging
A

Dm
My life hung like a rope
D
G
My sickly frame was wracked with pain
A

D
But the big guy would have none of that
Dm
He just sneezed at tragedy
G
He hit four home runs that series
D
Thanks to those arcing wallops
F#m
My wretched body healed
G
Thanks to the greatest player
A
That ever took the field
D
And as he stood above me
F#
My eyes alert but dim
G
I never thought that someday
A
I'd be starin' down at him

Before there was Paul Bunyan

Before old honest Dave

There always was the babe
D
He took a hundred million spirits

And said, to be a land
