Roy Harper - When an old cricketer

When the da^Cy is done and the b^Fmaj7all has spun in the ^Cumpires pocket a^Dmway, And a^Cll remains in the gro^Fmaj7undsman's pains for the r^Cest of time and a da^Dmy; There'll be on^Ce mad dog and his ^Emmaster, ^Cpushing for four with the s^Dmpin On a d^Custy pitch, with t^Fmaj7wo pounds six, of wi^Cllow wood in the s^Gun.

When an o^Cld cricketer le^Fmaj7aves the crease, you ne^Cver know whether he's g^Dmone; If s^Cometimes you're catching a f^Fmaj7leeting glimpse of a tw^Celfth man at Silly Mi^Gd-On; And it c^Could be Geoff, and it c^Fmaj7ould be John, with a n^Cew ball sting in his t^Dmail; And it c^Could be me, and it co^Fmaj7uld be thee, and it could be the ^Csting in the a^Gle, s^Fmaj7ting in the ale.

When the m^Coment comes, and the ga^Fmaj7thering stands, and the c^Clock turns back to re^Dmflect On the ye^Cars of grace, as those f^Fmaj7ootsteps trace for the l^Cast time out of the a^Dmct; Well this w^Cay of life's r^Emecollection, th^Ce hallowed strip in the ^Dmhaze, The f^Cabled men, and the no^Fmaj7onday sun, are much ^Cmore than just yarns of their da^Gys.
