Kenny Rogers - The Greatest (correct) guitar chord

Kenny Rogers

"The Greatest"

Tabbed by Dan Pera

D

Little Boy, in a baseball hat

A7 G D

Stands in the field with his ball and bat

Says I am the greatest player of them all

A7 G D

Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball

A7

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down

G D

Swings his bat all the way around

A7

The world's so still you can hear the sound

G D

The baseball falls to the ground

D

Now the little boy doesn't say a word

A7 G D

Picks up his ball, he is undeterred

Says I am the greatest there has ever been

A7 G D

And he grits his teeth and he tries it again

A7

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down

G D

Swings his bat all the way around

A7

The world's so still you can hear the sound

G D

The baseball falls to the ground

G

He makes no excuses, He shows no fears

D A7

He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers

D

Little boy, in a baseball hat

A7 G D

Picks up his ball, stares at his bat

Says I am the greatest the game is on the line

A7 G D

And he gives his all one last time

A7

And the ball goes up like the moon so bright

G D

Swings his bat with all his might

A7

And the world's so still as still can be

G D

And the baseball falls, and that's strike three

D

Now it's supper time and his mama calls

A7 G D

Little boy starts home with his bat and ball

Says I am the greatest that is a fact

A7 G D

But even I didn't know I could pitch like that

D

He says I am the greatest that is understood but even

A7 G D

I didn't know I could pitch that good.
