The Greatest
By Kenny Rogers written by Don Schlitz
C
Little boy in a baseball hat
G7 F C
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
Says I am the greatest player of them all
G7 F C
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
G7
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
F C
Swings his bat all the way around
G7
The world so still you can hear the sound
F C
The baseball falls to the ground
Now the little boy doesn't say a word
G7 F C
Picks up his ball he is undeterred
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
G7 F C
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again
G7
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
F C
Swings his bat all the way around
G7
The world so still you can hear the sound
F C
The baseball falls to the ground
Am
He makes no excuses he shows no fear
C G7
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
C
Little boy he adjusts his hat
G7 F C
Picks up his ball stares at his bat
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
G7 F C
And he gives his all one more time
G7
And the ball goes up and the moon so bright
F
Swings his bat with all his might
G7
The world's as still as still can be
F C
The baseball falls and that's strike three
Now it's supper-time and his momma calls
G7 F C
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
G7 F C
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that
Says I am the greatest that is understood
G7 F C
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good
