Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch
Some people say that life is a game,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Well if this is so I'd like to know
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The rules on which this game of life is based.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch
I know of no game more fitting
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Than the age old game of cricket
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
It has honour, it has character and it's British.
ch]C#[/ch] [ch]C#/G#[/ch
Now God laid down the rules of life
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]F#m/C#[/ch
When he wrote those Ten Commandments
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
And to cricket those ten same rules shall apply.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
Show compassion and self-righteousness
ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
and be honest above all
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And come to God's call with bat and ball.

Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch
Now the devil has a player
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
and he's called the demon bowler,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He's shrewd, he's rude and he's wicked.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch
He is sent by sinful satan
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
and he's out to take your wicket
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And you know that that's not cricket.
ch]C#[/ch] [ch]C#/G#[/ch
He'll baffle you with googlies
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]F#m/C#[/ch
with leg breaks and offspin
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
But keep a level head and don't let that demon in.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
So keep a straight bat at all times,
ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
let the Bible be your guide
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And you'll get by, yes you'll get by.

Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
All through your life he'll try to bowl you out
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Beware the demon bowler.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He's crafty and deceitful and he'll try to L.B.W.,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And bowl a maiden over.
ch]C#[/ch] [ch]C#/G#[/ch
The Devil takes the weak in spirit
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]F#m/C#[/ch
and so we must always be courageous
ch]B7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]B7/F#[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch
And remember that God is on your side.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]A/G[/ch
So keep old Satan in your sights
ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
and play the straight and narrow line
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And you'll get by, yes you'll get by.
