[HANASHIR:13844] chords and words for "A Way to Say Ah"

[Yonatan Y. Koch <listmember...>]

Hi there,

I was wondering, if by any miracle anyone has the lyrics to Beth Schafer's song 
"A Way to Say Ah". I wanted to use the song in a lesson I'm doing tomorrow. 
Thank you for any help you can provide.

  Here are the chords for Right Field:

  G       G/F#         Em
  Saturday summers when I was a kid  
  Am                                        D
  We'd run to the schoolyard and here's what we did
            C            Am        C                  Am
  We'd pick out the captains, we'd choose up the teams
                G        G/F#     Em
  It was always a measure of my self esteem
               C           Am             C            Am
  'Cause the fastest the strongest played shortstop and first
  C
  The last ones they picked were the worst
  C  (or alternate C/Am)
  I never needed to ask it was sealed
           Am                         D
  I just took up my place in right field.
               G    G/F#     Em
  Here in right field, it's easy to know
  C
  You can be awkward, you can be slow
               C           D           C           D           G
  That's why I'm here in right field just watchin' the dandelions grow.

         There are two other verses which you can pull off the internet.  I've 
played this one a bunch of times at camp and NFTY stuff, these chords should 
work pretty well.  If the key is bad for you (this is the key they wrote it in, 
but can be difficult to sing), then do it in C, it's a relatively easy 
transposition.

  Hope this helps,
