EmCMaj7 D/F#
And how he used to thrill the crowd
G/BCD/F#G
The ready eye with bat and ball
G/F#EmCMaj7 D/F#
The village fighter, heavy browed
G/BCD/F#G
The Englishman who had it all
EmCG/BCMaj7 D/F#
A mighty shoulder to the wheel
CGEmCMaj7 D/F#
To join in battle with the best
G/BEmCMaj7 D/F#
The iron arm, the will of steel
G/BCD/F#GEm
And heart of oak to mourn the rest

G/F#EmCMaj7 D/F#
A power harnessed to the game
G/BCD/F#G
Once yoked and tempered fades away
G/F#EmCMaj7 D/F#
The willing arm, the steady aim
G/BCD/F#G
The youth and fire that won the day
EmCG/BCMaj7 D/F#
As twilight shadows dim the field
CGEmCMaj7 D/F#
The ageing fighter stands bereft
G/BEmCMaj7 D/F#
With just the will to never yield
G/BCD/F#GEm
And heart of oak to mourn what?s left
