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"
