In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
                  G                         Am  
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game

He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
              G                  Am                           Bm  
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust
                     C 
behind the bar in the lounge

G           Am             Bm             C
