this one’s just the same 3 chords played over and over again , execept the D which is
occasionaly slide up from A D flat chord ( it just an extra detail that i haven transcribed ,
i’m just saying incase your wondering , it doesn’t make the utmost of differances )
great and very ( almost too ) underratted band and one of their greatest songs
( note : the chord placings are approximate so are probably in the wrong place , but it’s
easy enough to guess them as long as you know the chords )
( intros just the same chords for the verses : D , G , A )
D
the a is for my authority
G
which many players seem to question ,
A
thinking they’re somehow going to make me change my mind
D
B is for babies
G
which a lot of managers cry like
A
after a decision has not gone their way
D G
C is for the continual criticism i recieve from the touchline
A

D
D is for the dunderheads
G
who seem to think we have a conspiracy
A
against their particular team
D
E is for the eery silence that echoes around the ground
G
after i’ve booked the home teams player

G
the G is for the gnarled face of someone whos on 90 , 000 a week
A
and reckoned he should have had a throw in
D
h is for handball
G
which has to be intentional and very rarely is
A
if only people would study the rules more
D
i is for innocence , pleaded by many a doe – eyed defender
G
after they’ve just scythed down that tricky winger
A
j is for ju – jitsu , which i quite intend to display given a dark alley
D
and some of the narky blerts ive encountered
G
k is for the kissing of the badge
A
how ridiculous that looks 6 months later when they’re at another club
D G
l is for lip reading , at which you don’t need to be an expert
A
to see how odious some people are
D
m is for the mistakes we sometimes make
G A
surely a bit of controversy is part of the games appeal

G A
a difficult skill which the pundits never seem to appreciate
D G
s is for the suggestion that i should have awarded a card of some sort
A
to a player whos just been awarded a free kick
( mute the strings and strum )

D
okay the s , the s is the suggestion that i should show a card to an opponent
G

D
t is for the 21 man brawl

G A
you never hear a cricket crowd shouting whos the bastard in the hat
D G
the v is for vitriol vilification vendetta and volley of verbal abuse
A
some good bird noises there by the way
D

A
potugese center half

D
and the z
G A
well the z could be for zidane , zico , zola , zubizaretta , zoff

D
but is in fact for the zest with which we approach our work
G
without this zest for the game we wouldn’t become refs

G
and zeal monachorum
D
i have a caravan there
G
static naturally
A D etc . . .
