C                F          C          F            C        F         C

This town ain't big  This town ain't small It's a little of both they say

     F                                                     G

Our ball club may be minor-league But at least it's triple A 

C            F        C       F     C         F          Am        

  We sit be-low the Marlboro man  Above the right-field wall

Am                 F                                                     G

We do the wave all by ourselves  "Hey Ump, a blind man coulda made that call!" 



CHORUS



(G)          C                  F                           C         F    C   

We like our beer as flat as can be  We like our dogs with mustard and re-lish

G                            C                    F              F    C   F C

We've got a great pitcher, what's his name  Well, we can't even spell it

G                           C                    F                           Am

We don't worry about the pennants much  We just like to see the boys hit it deep

AM                        F               G    C    F  Am G  C F Am G

There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats 





C              F        C        F      C       F               C 

The game was close We call it a win Go off to toast the boys again

      F                                                              G

That local band is back in town They've got a kind of minor-league sound 

         C        F           C         C              F               Am

They're not that bad They're not that good But all in all, it's under-stood

Am                                         F                        G

We want to dance, they want to play  We wouldn't have it any other way 



Go to chorus, lead, "cheap seats", to third verse







          C      F          C          F        C         F             C  

Now the majors call up old what's his name And one more building rises tall

       F                                                           G

And suddenly we're all grown up And this old town's not quite so small

     C           F         C           F            C              F    Am

But I'll always miss the middle-size towns  In the middle of the middle West

Am                                           F                              G 

With no name pitchers and local bands  And mustard and relish and all the rest 



Go to chorus, "Cheap Seats"  "He hits it it's going going going yeah-eah  It's a home run" "Cheap Seats"
