INTRO
 D5 G5  D5  A5 G5 A5  D5 G5  D5  A5 G5 A5 
 D5  E5  D5  E5 

            D5
There's the Reds and there's the Greens
      E5
Super slicks and has beens
          D5                                 E5
They're accompanied by three men dressed in black
        D5                                 E5
One's a whistle, two are flags, and quite often they're the drags
         D5                               E5
Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back

    D5
Yes Match of the Day's
         G5 *                    [ D5 ]
The only way, to spend your Saturday

 D5  E5  D5  E5 

     D5                       E5
Each side's eleven men, with numbers on their backs
         D5                                  E5
But at a distance they all tend to look the same
         D5                              E5
But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week
         D5                            E5
Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!

    D5
But Match of the Day's
         G5 *                 [ A5 ]
The only way we spend our Saturday
A5                   D5
  And that's not all, our mates the keepers
A5
Slippin' and sliding in the mud
D5                     G5   G5
Arms as long as creepers

D5 G5  D5 A5  G5 A5
         Send him off Ref' 
D5 G5  D5       A5 G5  A5
         Where are your specs Ref'
D5 G5  D5      A5 G5 A5
         Kick you to  death Ref'
D5 G5  D5   A5 G5 A5
       Oi! Are you deaf Ref

 D5  E5  D5  E5 

          D5
There's a few things before we go
       E5
That I think you ought to know
  D5                               E5
Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles
       D5
So put on your hat and scarf
       E5
Have a drink, have a larf'
         D5                               E5
From the terrace you can see your men do battle

    D5
Yes Match of the Day's
         G5 *                       [ A5 ]
The only way you can spend your Saturday
A5                  D5
  Don't forget, the trainers with their sponges
A5                          D5                     G5   G5
Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches

D5 G5  D5 A5  G5 A5
         Send him off Ref' 
D5 G5  D5       A5 G5  A5
         Where are your specs Ref'
D5 G5  D5      A5 G5 A5
         Kick you to  death Ref'
D5 G5  D5   A5 G5 A5
       Oi! Are you deaf Ref

(repeat and fade)

Phfff! Good game 'ey, Ron?
D'you see that goal in the Second Half? oh!
Bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!
I reckon I should've been a penalty myself!
We paid 400, 000 pound for him , you realise that?
Oh - look out, here comes a bottle 
Yes, fancy a pint then? My round ...
