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

G              A                      D                      G
    And you'll know where to find me,   Ten rows back at the MCG
            A                 D    A    D    A     D     A    G    A
    Right behind the bowler's arm

2.So leave your worries at the farm don't fret about the rain
  Hold your credit over at the store, 
      bring the kids down on the train
  Meet me on the Richmond side just outside the gate
  I want to see the very first ball 
      but don't sweat if you're running late
  
  'Cause you'll know where to find me, 
  There's no other place I'd rather be
  Than right behind the bowler's arm

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
      G                                         A
  But most probably nothing much will happen at all

4.When the angels end my days and say my time is up
  I'll say to them now hold on please 
      there's just one thing that you forgot
  I know each man must leave this world behind when he gets called
  But we had a deal that you won't count 
       the days I watched the bat and ball

  And the angels, they'll know where to find me, 
  There's no place I'd rather be
  Than right behind the bowler
  They'll know where to find me
  Ten rows back with sunburnt knees
  Right behind the bowler's arm
