When the day is done, and the ball has spun
DO FAmaj7In the umpire's pocket away,
And all remains, in the groundsman's pains,
DO FAmaj7For the rest of time and a day.
DO SOLThere'll be one mad dog and his master, pushing for 4 with the spin.
On a dusty pitch, with two pounds six, of willowwood in the sun.
DO FAmaj7 DO SOL
When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone,
DO FAmaj7 DO REmIf maybe you're catching a fleeting glimpse, of a twelfth man at silly mid-on.
DO FAmaj7 DO SOLAnd it could be Geoff, and it could be John,
With a new ball sting in his tail.
DO REmAnd it could be me, and it could be thee,
DO FAmaj7And it could be the sting in the ale.........sting in the ale.
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

and for complete beginners the rest of the chords:
