(D, F7, A A°, B7 E7 A) (f# g# a, a, a g# f# e c# e f#, e, a)

A                        
Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Bm      F#7       Bm
Had the fever and had it bad;
E7                  Bm
Just to root for the home town crew,
E7                A   (E7)
ev'ry sunday, Katie knew

On a Saturday, her young beau called
to see if she if she'd like to go,
    B7            Bb° D#°   E
To see a show but Miss Kate said "no,
      F#7          B7      E      (e f f g g#) (G#+)
I'll tell you what you can do:" --

A                  E7       (b a g#)
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd -- (G7)
F#7                   Bm
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
B7                E7         
I don't care if I never come back,
Let me root, root for the home team,
    A          7          D
If they don't win it's a shame --
          A/E F7            A            
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
         B7 E7 A
at the old ball game.

Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names;
Told the umpire he was wrong,
all along -- good and stong --
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:

[Dedicated to J. A. Sternad. "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" (2 May 1908) Words by Jack Norworth, 1879-1959. Music by Albert Von Tilzer, 1878-1956]
