intro
| D G/D | D A/D G/D A/D | D G/D | D A/D G/D A/D |
| D | Em | D | Em |

D
there’s the reds and there’s the greens
Em
super slicks and has beens
D Em
they’re accompanied by three men dressed in black
D Em
one’s a whistle , two are flags , and quite often they’re the drags
D Em
kick the ball into the goal , they put it back

D6
yes match of the day’s
G/D * [ D ]
the only way , to spend your saturday

| D | Em | D | Em |

D Em
each side’s eleven men , with numbers on their backs
D Em
but at a distance they all tend to look the same
D Em
but some own their boutiques , well they clean up every week
D Em
inciting riots , causing chaos , such a shame!

D6
but match of the day’s
G/D * [ Am ]
the only way we spend our saturday
Am D
and that’s not all , our mates the keepers
Am
slippin’ and sliding in the mud
D G G/A
arms as long as creepers

D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
send him off ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
where are your specs ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
kick you to death ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
oi! are you deaf ref

| D | Em | D | Em |

D
there’s a few things before we go
Em
that i think you ought to know
D Em
obstruction , body checking , heavy tackles
D
so put on your hat and scarf
Em
have a drink , have a larf’
D Em
from the terrace you can see your men do battle

D6
yes match of the day’s
G/D * [ Am ]
the only way you can spend your saturday
Am D
don’t forget , the trainers with their sponges
Am D G G/A
managers with open cheques , liquid business lunches

D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
send him off ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
where are your specs ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
kick you to death ref’
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D
oi! are you deaf ref

outro ( lyrics mumbled ad lib )
| D | Em | D | Em |
( repeat and fade )

phfff! good game ’ey , ron?
d’you see that goal in the second half? oh!
bit of a dirty tackle that , mate!
i reckon i should’ve been a penalty myself!
we paid 400 , 000 pound for him , you realise that?
oh – look out , here comes a bottle
yes , fancy a pint then? my round . . .
