Lurleen: Oh the bases were empty on the diamond of my heart,
Fm
When the coach called me up to the plate,
E
I'd been swingin', and missin', at lovin' and kissin',
A E
My average was point double oh eight.
E
So I spit on my hands, knocked the dirt from my spikes,
A
And pointed right towards centre field,
A E
This time I'm hitting a home run,
A E
This time the love is for real.
A
I'll slide... I'll steal... I'll sacrifice
E
A lovin' fly for you,
C#m
I been slumping all season but now I found a reason,
A
I struck on a love that is true.
A E
I used to play the field,
A E
I used to be a roamer,
A B E
But the season's turning 'round for me now,
A B E
I finally bagged me a homer.
A B E D - A
That's right, I finally bagged me a Homer.
