WHEN AN OLD CRICKETER Roy Harper
---------------------------------------
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
