Capo 3

Intro: C G D G (2x)

C

We've gathered here, to bid adieu

G

Us Boston boys alas are few

D

Some from crosstown some from coast

G

To give our skipper one last toast

C

We?ll pour the good stuff ?round his casket

G

Drop some coin into the basket

D

Bow our heads and praise the Lord

D

Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord

(Chorus)

C

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

G

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

Em

And hail the lads that won the crown

D

They brought victory to our grounds

C

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

G

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

Em

And hail the lads that won the crown

D

While turning baseball upside down

C G D G

We hit ?em hard, we hit ?em clean

The pitching of Big Bill Dineen

Some legged a bunt, some hit ?em out

Remember old Buck Freeman?s clouts

We?ll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy

Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe

Chick and Jack O?Brien

Honus Wagner sat there cryin?

(Chorus)

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

They brought victory to our grounds

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

While turning baseball upside down

C G D G (2x)

Our days with you, indeed were great

And now that you have crossed the plate

And scored that final run of life

We?ll hug your kids and kiss your wife

And tell of how you played the game

And led us all to wealth and fame

We?ll lift our heads with one loud voice

And pay homage to ?The People?s Choice?

(Chorus)

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

They brought victory to our grounds

Let?s raise a glass and lift it up

Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

While turning baseball upside down

C G D G (2x)
