[A] When the day is [A] done and [D] the ball has spun In the umpire's pocket [Bm] away
[A] And all remains in the [D] groundsman's pace [A] For the rest of time and the [Bm] day
[A] There'll be one mad dog [C#m] and his master Pushing [F#m]
for four [Bm] with a spin
[A] On a dusty pitch [D] with two pound six [A] Of willow wood in the [E] sun
[A]
So old [D] Cricket leaves the crease [A] Well you never know whether he's [Bm] gone
[E]
Sometimes you're catching [D] a fleeting glimpse [A] Of a twelfth man at silly mid [Bm]-on
[A]
Could be Jeff and it could [D] be John [A] With a new ball staying in his [Bm] tail
[A]
Could be me and it [D] could be thee [A] And it could be the sting [E] in the ale
[D] Sting in the ale
[E] When the moment comes and the [D] gathering stands [A] And the clock turns back to [Bm] reflect
[A] On those years of grace [F#m] as the footsteps trace For [A] the last time out of the [Bm] act
[A] Well this way of life's [C#m] recollection The [F#m]
hallowed strip in the [Bm]
haze
[C#m] [A]
The fabled man and the noonday sun Are much more than just yarns [E] of the days
