Verse:
G C D G C D
86 summers gone by, Bambino put a hex on the Bean

We were living on a tear and a sigh, in the shadow of the Bronx Machine

Man, you could feel it smolder, the whole town had an attitude
Em A7 Em C D
Then they get a little chip on the shoulder, say something that's downright rude
G C D G C D
Oh, damn them Yankees, outspending everybody two to one
Em A7 Em C G D
Picking up on the cream of the crop, stealing everyone's favorite son

Angels of Fenway hear our prayers, we have been patient, we have been chastened

Holding on by the skin of our teeth, like a hungry dog on a bone

Angels of Fenway give them peace, they have been patient, Red Sox nation

G C D G C D
The whole world held it's breath, people got down on their knees
Em A7 Em C D
Waiting for the sudden death, praying to heaven for hell to freeze
G C D G C D
Nanna watched from her hospital bed, she was there till the end of the race

Just a little smile on her face
G C D Em C D G
Doesn't seem like long time ago
