When An Old Cricketer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 ICn the umpire's pocketF7M away,

 ACnd all remains, inDm the groundsman's pains,

 FCor the rest of time anF7Md a day.

 TChere'll be one mad dog anGd his master, pushing for 4 with the spin.

 OCn a dusty pitch, withEm two pounCds six, of willowwood inDm the sun.

C F7M C G

When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone,

 ICf maybe you're F7Mcatching a fleeting glimCpse, of a twelfth man atDm silly mid-on.

 ACnd it could be Geoff, andF7M it could be John, C G

 WCith a new ball sting inF7M his tail.

 ACnd it could be me, and Dmit could be thee,

 ACnd it could be the stF7Ming in the ale.........sting in the ale.
