 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.
