A G# Some people say that life is a game, A E7 A Well if this is so I'd like to know A E7 A E7 A The rules on which this game of life is based. A G# I know of no game more fitting A E7 A Than the age old game of cricket A E7 A E7 A It has honour, it has character and it's British. C# C# Now God laid down the rules of life F#m F#m When he wrote those Ten Commandments B7 B7 E7 And to cricket those ten same rules shall apply. A A Show compassion and self-righteousness D D7 and be honest above all A E7 A E7 A And come to God's call with bat and ball. Now the Devil has a player and he's called the Demon Bowler He's shrewd, he's rude and he's wicked He is sent by Sinful Satan and he's out to take your wicket And you know that that's not cricket He'll baffle you with googlies with leg breaks and offspin But keep a level head and don't let that demon in So keep a straight bat at all times, let the Bible be your guide And you'll get by, yes you'll get by All through your life he'll try to bowl you out Beware the Demon bowler He's crafty and deceitful and he'll try to L.B.W., And bowl a maiden over The Devil takes the weak in spirit and so we must always be courageous And remember that God is on your side So keep old Satan in your sights and play the straight and narrow line And you'll get by, yes you'll get by | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  B7  C#  D  D7  E7  F#  F#m  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
