GCDGCD
86 summers gone by, Bambino put a hex on the Bean
EmA7EmCD
We were living on a tear and a sigh, in the shadow of the Bronx Machine
GCDGCD
Man, you could feel it smolder, the whole town had an attitude
EmA7EmCD
Then they get a little chip on the shoulder, say something that's downright rude
GCDGCD
Oh, damn them Yankees, outspending everybody two to one
EmA7EmCGD
Picking up on the cream of the crop, stealing everyone's favorite son
Chorus:
DAEBmEAmCD
Angels of Fenway hear our prayers, we have been patient, we have been chastened

GCDGCD
Grandmama was a Fenway fan, even after Grandad died
EmA7EmCD
I still remember her holding my hand, taking me along for the ride
GCDGCD
She was born in 19 18, last year that the Red Sox won
EmA7EmCD
Back the when they sold the Babe, something that they never shoulda ever have done
Bridge:
One more!

Hey Nanna can I have another Coke?

Here come the hot dog ma-----n, look at that, his bat just broke

Riding out on the Green Line, watching the town go by
AGbmAD
Nanna made another Red Sox fan, till the day I die

That was back in sixty-five, doesn't seem like a long time ago
EmA7EmCD
Grandmama keeping hope alive, watch them win in double-o-four

Oh my God, it was beyond belief, down 3 needing 4 in a row
EmA7EmCD
Holding on by the skin of our teeth, like a hungry dog on a bone
Chorus:
DAEBmEAmCD
Angels of Fenway give them peace, they have been patient, Red Sox nation
Last Verse:
GCDGCD
The whole world held it's breath, people got down on their knees
EmA7EmCD
Waiting for the sudden death, praying to heaven for hell to freeze
GCDGCD
Nanna watched from her hospital bed, she was there till the end of the race
EmA7EmCD
I couldn't hear the last word she said but she was lying there with a smile on her face
GCDEmCD
Just a little smile on her face
GCDEmCDG
Doesn't seem like long time ago
