When the day is done, and the ball has spun
In the ump C ire's pocket away, Fmaj7
And all C remains, in the Dm groundsman's pains,
For C the rest of time and Fmaj7 a day.
Ther C e'll be one mad dog and G his master, pushing for 4 with the spin.
On a dusty pi C tch, with two pounds Em six, of C willowwood in the sun. Dm
C Fmaj7 C G When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone,
If maybe C you're catchi Fmaj7 ng a fleeting glimpse, C of a twelfth man at sil Dm ly mid-on.
And C it could be Geoff, and i Fmaj7 t could be John, C G
With a n C ew ball sting in his t Fmaj7 ail.
And it C could be me, and it co Dm uld be thee,
And it C could be the sting i Fmaj7 n the ale.........sting in the ale.
C G Fmaj7 Solo on verse
Verse 2 (chords as above - sorry don't have the words to hand)
Chorus (as above)
-- Chord note for for beginners:
All chords played as normally given in any book in standard tuning in 1st
position (ie at the bottom of the neck - which is physically the top if you're
holding the neck upwards!). Note that Roy plays G with 4 fingers - fingering
D on the B string, which makes the chord sound nicer (you dont get the jump
from B up to G for the top two strings - if any notes are to be missed
out of a chord, better to miss the 3rd(B) than the 5th(D) in general)
i.e.:
............playing D instead of open B
