Arrangement source for When An Old Cricketer by Roy Harper
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
I[C]n the umpire's pocket[Fmaj7] away,
A[C]nd all remains, in[Dm] the groundsman's pains,
F[C]or the rest of time an[Fmaj7]d a day.
T[C]here'll be one mad dog an[G]d his master, pushing for 4 with the spin.
O[C]n a dusty pitch, with[Em] two poun[C]ds six, of willowwood in[Dm] the sun.
[C] [Fmaj7] [C] [G]
When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone,
I[C]f maybe you're [Fmaj7]catching a fleeting glim[C]pse, of a twelfth man at[Dm] silly mid-on.
A[C]nd it could be Geoff, and[Fmaj7] it could be John, [C] [G]
W[C]ith a new ball sting in[Fmaj7] his tail.
A[C]nd it could be me, and [Dm]it could be thee,
A[C]nd it could be the st[Fmaj7]ing in the ale.........sting in the ale.
[C] [G] [Fmaj7]
