Verse 1
      Eb      
We've gathered here, to bid adieu
   Bb
Us Boston boys alas are few

Some from crosstown some from coast
   Bb
To give our skipper one last toast

We’ll pour the good stuff ‘round his casket

Drop some coin into the basket
F
Bow our heads and praise the Lord
     F
Then rouse ourselves and strike a chord


Chorus
      Eb
Let’s raise a glass and lift it up
     Bb
Then sip from Jimmy Collins’ cup
    Gm
And hail the lads that won the crown
             F
They brought victory to our grounds
      Eb
Let’s raise a glass and lift it up
     Bb
Then sip from Jimmy Collins’ cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

While turning baseball upside down

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 Freeman’s clouts
      Eb
We’ll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
Bb
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe

Chick and Jack O’Brien
      F
Honus Wagner sat there cryin’

Verse 3
    Eb
Our days with you, indeed were great
    Bb
And now that you have crossed the plate
    F
And scored that final run of life
      Bb
We’ll hug your kids and kiss your wife
    Eb
And tell of how you played the game
    Bb
And led us all to wealth and fame
      F
We’ll lift our heads with one loud voice
    F
And pay homage to “The People’s Choice”
