Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
F
G
Am
He played
for England,
yes he did,
F
he played before the war.
G
He was magical with the football,
Am
and by God he made us roar.
We saw him on the newsreel,
F
he was talking to the king
G
He played for England once,
Am
but now it doesn't mean a thing
His cartilage went at thirty -one,
F
his back at thirty -two
G
He left the game at thirty -three
Am
with nothing much to do
He couldn't settle down,
F
you know he couldn't hold a job
G
The only skill he'd ever had
Am
was nodding in alarm
F
So in the pub he talks of when
Bb
Girls were girls and men were men
G
But now the only fuss he makes
E
Am
Is with a glass that someone takes
E
Am
He thought the world would not forget
F
To pay him what it owed
G
That he could live forever on
Am
The memories he'd sowed
But legends mean so little
G
As boys create new heroes
Am
And men forget the old
F
He never goes to see a game,
Bb
he reckons now it's all the same
G
Nameless numbers run like heirs,
E
Am
the joy is gone but no one cares
His wife deserted years ago,
F
his kids have gone abroad.
G
He spends his time with scrapbooks
Am
of the many goals he scored.
And on his wall a photograph
F
of when he met the king.
G
He played for England once,
Am
but now it doesn't mean a thing
A
