[Verse 1]
C
We've gathered here to bid adieu
G
Us Boston boys, alas are few
D
Some from crosstown, some from the coast
G
To give our skipper one last toast
C
We'll 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
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
Em
And hail the lads that won the crown
D
That brought victory to our ground
C
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
D
And hail the lads that won the crown
G
While turning baseball upside down

[Verse 2]
C
We hit 'em hard, we hit 'em clean
G
The pitching of Big Bill Dineen
D
Some legged a bunt, some hit them out
G
Remember old Buck Freeman's clouts
C
We'll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy
G
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe
D
Chick, and Jack O'Brein
D
Honus Wagner sat there crying
[Chorus]
C
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
Em
And hail the lads that won the crown
D
That brought victory to our ground
C
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup

And hail the lads that won the crown

[Verse 3]
C
Our days with you indeed were great
G
And now that you have crossed the plate
Em
And scored that final run of life
D
We'll hug your kids and kiss your wife
C
And tell of how you played the game
G
And led us all to wealth and fame
D
We'll lift our heads with one loud voice
D
Pay homage to "The People's Choice"
[Chorus]
C
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
Em
And hail the lads that won the crown
D
That brought victory to our ground
C
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
G
Then sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
D
And hail the lads that won the crown
G
While turning baseball upside down
[Outro]
C G D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
G
Lets raise a glass and lift it up
C G D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
G
Let's raise a glass and lift it up
C G D
Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
G D G
Let's sip from Jimmy Collins' cup
