Tabs with Lyrics

4      7 -6   6 5 6   -4
Take me out to the ball game

  4      7 -6   6   5    6
Take me out to the crowd.

-6    -6    -6     5    -5 6    -6   -5    -4
Buy me some pea-nuts and Crack-er-Jacks,

-6 -6    -6   -7 7 -8 -7 -6   6
I don't care if I ev-er get back.

  5      -4     4     7     -6   6 5   6     -4
Cause it's root, root, root for the home team,

-4   4    -4     5   -5 6   -6
If they don't win it's a shame.

-6   -7   7     7       7      -7       -6      6
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out

6   6   -6 -7    7
at the old ball game.

I tried this on a Hohner Big River in the Key of C. It played very well. I'd tried a few other versions but this sounded best to me.
Thanks.

Thank you for putting this up! I played around with the harmonica when I was a kid, it lost to baseball back then. I just bought me another one, and looked up this song. I am excited about getting back into playing the harmonica again!
