listen to the song to get the rhythm . capo on 3rd C G D G x2 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 well 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 lets 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 lets 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 freemans clouts well sing of candy , cy and freddy patsy dougherty , broadway hobe chick and jack obrien honus wagner sat there cryin ( Chorus ) lets 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 lets 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 x2 our days with you , indeed were great and now that you have crossed the plate and scored that final run of life well hug your kids and kiss your wife and tell of how you played the game and led us all to wealth and fame well lift our heads with one loud voice and pay homage to the peoples choice ( Chorus ) lets 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 lets 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 x2 C G D G D G
