Behind The Bowlers Arm Chords & Lyrics - Paul Kelly (australia)

Capo on 2

[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [G] [A]

[D]It's been a [A]hard hard year [D]Pushing shit up[A]hill
[D]But shit happens [A]all the time [G]And I guess it [A]always will
[D]Now the days are [A]getting long [D]Summer's on its [A]way
And [D]I can't wait for [A]Christmas, because the
[G]Day after Christmas is [A]Boxing Day

[G] And you'll [A]know where to find me, [D] Ten rows back at the [G]MCG
Right be[A]hind the bowler's [D]arm [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [G] [A]
[D]2.So leave y[A]our worries at the[D] farm don't fre[A]t about the rain
[D] Hold your credi[A]t over at the s[G]tore, bri[A]ng the kids down on the train
[D] Meet me on[A] the Richmond side[D] just outside t[A]he gate
[D] I want to see t[A]he very first b[G]all but don't s[A]weat if you're running late
[G] 'Cause you'll[A] know where to find me,[D] There's no other place[G] I'd rather be
Tha[D]n righ[A]t beh[G]ind t[A]he bowler's arm

[G]3.And if we're lucky we might see
[Em] someone make a ton or a slashing fifty
[G] Yeah if we're lucky there might be
[Em] a bowling spell of sheer wizardry
But [G]most probably nothing much will happen at [A]all
[D]4.When the a[A]ngels end my days [D]and say my time[A] is up
[D] I'll say to the[A]m now hold on p[G]lease there's [A]just one thing that you forgot
[D] I know eac[A]h man must leave t[D]his world behin[A]d when he gets called
[D] But we had a de[A]al that you won[G]'t count the da[A]ys I watched the bat and ball
[G] And the angel[A]s, they'll know where t[D]o find me, There's no p[G]lace I'd rather be
Tha[D]n righ[A]t beh[G]ind t[A]he bowler
[G] They'll know [A]where to find me Ten r[D]ows back with sunburnt [G]knees
Rig[D]ht beh[A]ind t[G]he bo[A]wler's arm

[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
