The Vinyl Goods - Opening Day

      [Intro]
Eb F Bb

[Chorus]
            Eb F  Bb
It’s Opening Day Today
Eb          F             Bb
Another new season on the way
Eb               F
The crack of the bat
Bb               Eb
The smell of the grass
F                              Bb
It’s time to get out there and play

[Verse 1]
                  F               Bb
Make a fresh start; It’s a new day
                F                           Bb
No time to waste; the first pitch on the way

[Pre-Chorus]
    Eb          Bb               Eb            Bb
And everybody’s talkin ‘bout how last season’s over
    Eb          Bb             Eb            F
And everybody’s dreamin' about playing in October

[Chorus]
             Eb F  Bb
It’s Opening Day Today
Eb    F               Bb
Anticipation, I can’t wait
Eb                   F
For the crack of the bat
Bb               Eb
The smell of the grass
F                              Bb
It’s time to get out there and play

[Verse 2]
                  F                          Bb
The sun on my face; Cold beer with my friends
                 F                         Bb
It’s time to play; And take the field again

[Pre-Chorus]
    Eb                Bb            Eb              Bb
And we’re all here to celebrate the crowning of our season
    Eb          Bb                     Eb           F
And we all know why we’re here, you’ve got us all believin'

[Chorus]
             Eb F  Bb
It’s Opening Day Today
Eb               F                  Bb
And nothing else makes me feel this way
Eb               F
The crack of the bat
Bb               Eb
The smell of the grass
F                              Bb
It’s time to get out there and play

[Bridge]
Gm                          Bb
Forget about the curses and stories
Gm                             Bb
Leave behind the tales of past glories
Eb             Cm
Take it from a friend
      Bb                   Gm
Whose been there and back again
Cm                 Eb              Bb
Sit right back and let the games begin

[Chorus]
             Eb F  Bb
It’s Opening Day Today
Eb             F            Bb
Don’t let this memory slip away
Eb               F
The crack of the bat
Bb               Eb
The smell of the grass
F                              Bb
It’s time we get out there and play
