Take Me Out To The Ball Game, Original 1908 lyrics by Jack Norworth, Music by Albert Von Tilzer Public Domain I had been trying to find a complete version of this on the web, but was unable to find more than the chorus. I play an Autoharp, but the music I've found here for guitar has been immediately playable, it should be easy for guitar. The verses have the same (but fewer) chords as the chorus, so you should have no problem. Note: This song is in 3/4 (Waltz) time. It was originally played in dance halls, the first known time of it being played at a baseball game was not until 1934. It is also interesting to not that when it was written, neither Mr. Norworth nor Mr. Von Tilzer had ever actually seen a baseball game. Concerning the 4th line - "Sou" was a slang term at the time and it meant penny. One version of this song that had been played recently the fourth line was replaced with "Every cent, Katie spent." It has the same meaning. 3/4 (Waltz) time

^CKatie Casey was ^G7baseball mad, ^CHad the fever and ^G7had it bad. ^A7Just to root for the ^Dmhome town crew, Ev'ry ^Dsou, Katie ^G7blew.

^COn a Saturday ^G7her young beau ^CCalled to see if she'd ^G7like to go To ^A7see a show, but Miss ^DmKate said "No, I'll ^Dtell you what you can ^G7do:"

Chorus

^CTake me out to the ^G7ball game. ^CTake me out with the ^G7crowd. ^A7Buy me some peanuts and ^DmCracker Jack. ^DI don’t care if ^G7I never get back, let me ^Croot, root, root for the ^G7home team. If ^C7they don’t win, it’^A7s a shame. For it’s ^Fone, ^D7two, ^Cthree strikes, you’r^A7e out at the ^D7old ^G7ball ^Cgame.

^CKatie Casey saw ^G7all the games, ^CKnew the players by ^G7their first names. ^A7Told the umpire ^Dmhe was wrong, All a^Dlong, good and ^G7strong.

^CWhen the score was just ^G7two to two, ^CKatie Casey knew ^G7what to do, ^A7Just to cheer up the ^Dmboys she knew, She ^Dmade the gang sing this ^G7song:

Chorus

Old music will never die in the hearts of those who love it! Transcribed by Autoharp Bill
