Here Shanty,

This is from a very old memory spo I can't swear the chords are perfect. But they are close enough to get you along the way.

MY FAVORITE SPRING
(Tom Paxton)
I us(G)ed to play baseball, I us(C)ed to love to pl(G)ay.
The people all said I'd be a win(A7)ner some(D)day.
We pla(C)yed in the sandlots and the gra(G)vel scho(D)ol ya(G)rds.
I on(C)ce had a try-out with the S(G)t. Lo(D)uis Ca(G)rds.

The Cardinals said, "Young man, we sure like your arm.
We believe you can make it. We'll send you down to the farm.
You need a little seasoning; play a little Double A.
We'll give you a chance to show how much you want to play.

Chorus:
Th(G)at was my favorite Spr(Em)ing.
I (Em)could do an(G)ything.
Fu(C)ll six foot tall and lean.
I(D7) was just seventeen.
M(G)y fast ball was not(Em)hing but smoke.
M(EM)y curve ball snap(G)ped and broke.
My change-up ma(EM)de 'em look bad.
They couldn't hit a th(D)ing I had.
