[C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sitting
in [D]Grandpa's [G]chair,
thinking [C]about his [D]whiskers,
[C]sandpaper [D]kisses on [G]his cheek.[D]
[G]He would nev[D]er [G]budge,
listening [C]to the [D]cricket
He [C]couldn't bother Grand[D]pa for a [G]week
And [Em]if he's up in he[D]aven,
I'm [Em]sure he's still tuned [D]in
Prob[C]ably having a beer
with Wally [D]Grout
Going [Em]crook about the [D]link,
and [Em]questioning our [D]strength
That's [Em]not the way to
[D]get a pony [G]out
When television [D]came,[G]
he could [C]watch the game
[D]But we cou[C]ldn't drag him
[D]from the radi[G]o
[D]From the [G]pencil [D]on [G]a book,
he didn't [C]want to [D]look
The [C]stubborn old fella did
[D]n't want [G]to know
It's [Em]on the radio,
[D]that's all[Em] you need to k[D]now
Concen[C]trate completely on [D]the sound
The [Em]at mosphere is g[D]reat,
imagin[Em]ation [D]mate.
[Em]I can see th[D]e seagulls.[Em]
[D]Yes, I c[Em]an see the
[D]seagulls on the ground.
[G]So the ashes battle contin[D]ues,
[G]Michael Clarke settles into his[C] stance,
[D]oblivious to an [C]arching seagull
that [D]swifts past him,
[G]heading for some rubbish
[D]that's blown off of the [G]ground.[D]
[G]Here comes broad, [C]angular,
[D]intense and [C]quick,
an[D]d Clarke duck[G]s the bouncer.
Well he had [D]aboard a [G]collie,
everywhere [C]he [D]went,
his [C]job to keep an [D]eye on the sheep[G].
[D]But I h[G]ave[D] a hu[G]nch,
when Cricket [C]was [D]at lunch,
[C]Grant Park had his [D]sheep in his [G]sleep.
And [Em]if he's up in he[D]aven,
I'm [Em]sure he's still tuning,
[D]probabl[C]y having a beer
with Wally [D]Grant.
Going [Em]crook about the [D]length,
and [Em]questioning our [D]strength,
that's [Em]not the way to
[D]get the ponies [G]out.
It's [Em]on the radio,
[D]that's all[Em] you need to kno[D]w
Concen[C]trate completely on [D]the sounds
The at[Em]mosphere is [D]great,
imagin[Em]ation mate
[D]I c[Em]an see the seagul[D]ls[Em]
[D]Yes, I c[Em]an see the s[D]eagulls
[Em]Yes, [D]I c[Em]an see the s[D]eagulls
on [G]the ground
You
