Intro: C G D G (2x)

      C       
We've gathered here, to bid adieu 
   G 
Us Boston boys alas are few 
D 
Some from crosstown some from 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 
They brought victory to our grounds 
      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 
While turning baseball upside down 

C G D G 

We hit ?em hard, we hit ?em clean 
The pitching of Big Bill Dineen 
Some legged a bunt, some hit ?em out 
Remember old Buck Freeman?s clouts 
We?ll sing of Candy, Cy and Freddy 
Patsy Dougherty, Broadway Hobe 
Chick and Jack O?Brien 
Honus Wagner sat there cryin? 

(Chorus) 
Let?s raise a glass and lift it up 
Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup 
And hail the lads that won the crown 
They brought victory to our grounds 
Let?s raise a glass and lift it up 
Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup 
And hail the lads that won the crown 
While turning baseball upside down 

C G D G (2x) 

Our days with you, indeed were great 
And now that you have crossed the plate 
And scored that final run of life 
We?ll hug your kids and kiss your wife 
And tell of how you played the game 
And led us all to wealth and fame 
We?ll lift our heads with one loud voice 
And pay homage to ?The People?s Choice? 

(Chorus) 
Let?s raise a glass and lift it up 
Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup 
And hail the lads that won the crown 
They brought victory to our grounds 
Let?s raise a glass and lift it up 
Then sip from Jimmy Collins? cup 
And hail the lads that won the crown 
While turning baseball upside down
