Tonart: Eb major
Verse 1
D
Ebdim
Em
During a recent tour of South Africa,
a team of rugby footballers
A
F#m
arrived at the city of Broomfontein,
Bm
capital of the Orange Free State.
Em
In preparation for their big match,
Am
the team was sent to the hotel
lounge
A
F#m
for an organised rest.
On assembling,
B
each player
took out his rugby almanac,
Em
with the exception of one,
A
who instead fondled a pack of cards.
D
Bm
Seeing this the team captain cried,
D
Wing three -quarter
A
D
Later that day the young wing three
-quarter
was taken before the tour
management
who insisted he suitably account
Em
for such a misdemeanor
A
or else face serious reprisal.
F#m
Mr. manager, sir began the player,
Em
I have been on tour for several
Bm
without rugby almanac or Bible
and when you hear my story
you will realize
E
I have used my pack of cards
with good intent.
A
He began, when I see the ace,
I think of Fergie McCormick,
F#m
the ace of all good goal kickers,
B
before whose feet all tremble.
Em
A
When I see the two,
Am
I think immediately
A
F#m
of the two goal posts
D
through which the ball must travel
Bm
for a converted try.
Am
I am reminded of those three
cornerstones
position, possession,
Bm
and and one other which for the moment escapes me.
Em
When I see the four,
I think of the four test matches
The first test, the second,
and finally the fourth.
I think of those five minutes at halftime
and pipe bands.
When I see the six,
Em
God sat down to watch a
game of rugby football.
F#
I think of the 7th day
Bbaug
Bm
when he re -selected his team.
Am
I think of the 8 great rugby
A
Bm
playing nations of the world.
D
Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland,
and New Zealand Maoris.
When I see the 9,
I think of the 9 points to be
scored
A
from 3 successful McCormick penalties.
I am reminded
Em
that the ball must travel ten
yards
A
from each kick -off to commence play.
And when I see the jack,
Em
between the New Zealand Rugby
Football Union
Am
an counterparts.
Bm
When I see the queen,
D
I just can't help thinking of Sabrina
A
at some Sunday charity match.
D
And when I see the King,
G
think immediately of pine tree meads
D
and hovering in the background, sir,
a certain Dr. Danny Craven.
G
D
Sir, there are 365 days in the year,
Ddim
the number of points to be scored
Em
Eb
from 120 McCormick penalty goals
and one converted try.
D
There are 52 weeks in a year,
the number of rugby playing
Em
Saturdays we'll have once
A
our union abolishes summer.
D
Bm
And finally, sir, there is the joker,
the ordinary joker
E
A
who trips to the park week after week
to support our great game
Bm
The joker who catches a death of cold
who time and again
forsakes his garden and family
D
without redress.
Ddim
E
So you see, sir, my pack of cards
serves me
as rugby almanac and bible.
A
Bm
And sir, if you don't believe my story,
Bb
you can treat yourself to
A
D
an up and under.
Eb
D
Ah
