\begin{verse}
\[D]Little boy, in a baseball hat
Stands \[A]in the field, with his \[G]ball and \[D]bat
\[D]Says, ``I am the greatest, player of them all''
Puts his \[A]bat on his shoulder, and he \[G]tosses up his \[D]ball
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
And the \[A]ball goes up, and the ball comes down
\[G]Swings his bat all the \[D]way around
The \[A]world's so still you can hear the sound
The \[G]baseball falls{\dots} to the ground \[D]
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
Now the little boy, doesn't say a word
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
Says, ``I am the greatest, there has ever been''
And he grits his teeth, and he tries it again
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
And the ball goes up, and the ball comes down
Swings his bat all the way around
The world's so still you can hear the sound
The baseball falls{\dots} to the ground
\end{chorus}
\begin{bridge}
He \[Bm]makes no excuses, he \[G]shows no fear
He just \[D]closes his eyes, and \[A]listens to the cheers
\end{bridge}
\begin{verse}
Little boy, he adjusts his hat
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
Says, ``I am the greatest, the game is on the line''
And he gives his all, one last time
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
And the ball goes up, like the moon so bright
Swings his bat with all his might
And the world's so still as still can be
And the baseball falls{\dots} that's strike three
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
Now it's supper time, and his mama calls
Little boy starts home, with his bat and ball
Says, ``I am the greatest, that is a fact
But even I didn't know, I could pitch like that''
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
Says, ``I am the greatest, that is understood
But even I didn't know, I could pitch that good''
\end{verse*}
