It's been a hard hard year    Pushing sh*t uphill
D                A              G              A

D                A              G              A

D           A                 D              A

D                A              G              A
  I want to see the very first ball but don't sweat if you're running late
G              A                      D                      G

  Than right behind the bowler's arm

3.And if we're lucky we might see 
Em
      someone make a ton or a slashing fifty
G
  Yeah if we're lucky there might be 
Em
      a bowling spell of sheer wizardry
      G                                         A
  But most probably nothing much will happen at all
D           A                 D              A
4.When the angels end my days and say my time is up
D                A              G              A
  I'll say to them now hold on please  there's just one thing that you forgot
D           A                 D              A
  I know each man must leave this world behind when he gets called
D                A              G              A
  But we had a deal that you won't count the days I watched the bat and ball
G              A                      D                      G
  And the angels, they'll know where to find me, There's no place I'd rather be

  Than right behind the bowler
G              A                      D                      G
