Willie Mays Is Up at Bat Chuck Prophet
Intro: E
I h[E]ear the church bells ring, W[A/E]illie Mays is up at b[E]at
I h[E]ear the crowd go wild, [A/E]all he did was touch his h[E]at
Well, m[C#m]eanwhile Carol Doda stood up and said I won't be ign[E]ored
She s[E]howed 'em everything she had, t[A]hen she showed 'em all a little m[E]ore
J[E]im Jones and his Temple, on G[A]ary Street right next to Young Bill Br[E]own
J[E]im he walked right up to Bill, cl[A]icked his heels, said you know who I a[E]m
M[C#m]eanwhile Bugs and Daffy Duck were hitchin up the coast to Pismo Be[E]ach
While o[E]ver in the in the Tonkin Golf, the N[A]avy took a hit or so it s[E]eems
Th[E]ree on and two o[G#]uts under the l[A]ights[F#], oh,[E] nobody knows who'll[G#] make it home ton[A]ight, o[F#]h[E]
L[E]aughin Sal said please don't go, d[A/E]on't leave me here alone and make a st[E]and
She looked so f[E]aded in the twilight, d[A]own there where the breakers meet the s[E]and
Now [C#m]someone said to Laughin Sal, hey Laughin Sal, just what you laughin a[E]t?
She said I'm [E]only laughin at myself, k[A]eep it down, Willie's up at b[E]at
Th[E]ree on and two o[G#]uts under the l[A]ights[F#], oh,[E] nobody knows who'll[G#] make it home ton[A]ight, o[F#]h[E]
W[E]ell that was all so long ago, there's [A/E]always something else to be aga[E]inst
And the o[E]nly thing we know for sure, is W[A]illie always did swing for the f[E]ence, come on
Th[E]ree on and two o[G#]uts under the l[A]ights[F#], oh,[E] nobody knows who'll[G#] make it home ton[A]ight, o[F#]h[E]
Th[E]ree on and two o[G#]uts under the l[A]ights[F#], oh,[E] nobody knows who'll[G#] make it home ton[A]ight[F#]
F# (hold) A E
Nobody knows who'll make it home tonight
