Intro 
D 
Fore! 

Verse One 
D                                    C 
Straight down the middle it went straight down the middle 
A                               Ab                       A                   D 
Then it started to hook just a wee wee bit that's when my caddie lost sight of it 
F                              Gb                      G 
That little white pellet has never been found to this day 
D                                               C 
But it went straight down the middle like they say 

Verse Two 
D                                C 
Whack down the fairway it went smack down the fairway 
A                                   Ab                      A                    D 
Then it started to slice just a smidge offline it headed for two then it bounced off nine 
F                                  Gb                      G 
My caddie said as long as you're still in the state you're OK 
D                                             C 
Yes it went straight down the middle quite a way 

Verse Three 
F                                            Ab 
The sun was never brighter the greens were never greener 
D                  Ab 
And I was never keener to play 
D                                         C 
I heard it ping down the middle it went zing down the middle 
A                              Ab                            A              D 
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom there's always the lies in the locker room 
F                           Gb                    G 
And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I can say 
D                                      C 
That it went straight down the middle today 

Short break 
D C 

Verse Four 
A                              Ab          A                                               D 
Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom though they charge it for listening in the locker room 
F                           Gb                    G 
And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I can say 
D                                                 Ab           A 
That it went straight down the middle where it wound up is a riddle 
D                                      C          C G C 
But it went straight down the middle far awsy
