Heart Of Oak

	  		 



             Em       Cmaj7     D/F# 
And how he used to thrill the crowd 
     G/B  Cmaj7     D/F#    G 
The ready eye with bat and ball 
     G/F#    Em       Cmaj7  D/F# 
The village fighter, heavy browed 
    G/B     Cmaj7   D/F#  G 
The Englishman who had it all 
   Em      C   G/B Cmaj7   D/F# 
A mighty shoulder to the wheel 
    C       G   Em  Cmaj7   D/F# 
To join in battle with the best 
    G/B  Em        Cmaj7    D/F# 
The iron arm, the will of steel 
     G/B     Cmaj7   D/F#      G    Em 
And heart of oak to mourn the rest

   G/F#  Em        Cmaj7  D/F# 
A power harnessed to the game 
      G/B       Cmaj7    D/F#   G 
Once yoked and tempered fades away 
     G/F#   Em         Cmaj7 D/F# 
The willing arm, the steady aim 
     G/B       Cmaj7     D/F#    G 
The youth and fire that won the day 
     Em       C G/B  Cmaj7   D/F# 
As twilight shadows dim the field 
    C       G   Em   Cmaj7   D/F# 
The ageing fighter stands bereft 
      G/B      Em      Cmaj7 D/F# 
With just the will to never yield 
     G/B     Cmaj7   D/F#         G    Em 
And heart of oak to mourn what's left
