Tessie
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1
Intro (piano): E7 E7|A7|E7|
A7
Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
E7
Tessie is the tune they always sung
E7
Tessie echoed April through October nights
D E7
After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young
A7
Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
E7
Tessie is a maiden with a love
E7
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
D E7
She's got a comment full of love
(Interlude):
A7|A7|E7|E7|E7|E7|D|E7
A7
And sometimes when the game is on the line
E7
Tessie always carried them away
E7
Up the road from "Third Base" to Huntington
D E7 (mute right before Two three four)
The boys will always sing and sway
Two! Three! Four!
A A7 D
Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
A E
Boston, you know we love you madly
A E7
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
A A7
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
D
You know we couldn't live without you
E E7 A E7
Tessie, you are the only only oooooooonly
A7
The Rooters showed up at the grounds one day
E7
They found their seats had all been sold
E7
McGreevey led the charge into the park
D E7
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold
A7
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
E7
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
E7
Up from "Third Base" to Huntington
D E7 (mute before two three four)
They'd sing another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
A A7 D
Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around

You know we couldn't live without you
