Eb           Cm        Eb                  C
Bellowing instructions from the touchline, that's my dad
Eb            Cm    F              Gm
Purple  in the face‚ getting really mad


[Chorus]
Ab          Bb
Man  on! Man on!
Gm       Cm  Bb  Ab     Eb  G
An empty stadium yells "man on"

Come on! Come on!
Gm             Cm      Bb     Fm  Bb     Eb   C   Eb          Cm
The  cross goes sailing wildly over   the heads... of everyone

"You're not Lionel Messi‚ just pass the bloody ball!"

Eb                 Cm     Eb           C
Perhaps  we were expecting this to be a walk in the park
Eb                             Cm
But these bastards from King's Priory
F           Fm           Gm
Are kicking lumps out of us

The cross goes sailing wildly over   the heeeeaaaaads


[Verse 4]
Gb              C     B        Cm
Their left back slips taking a free kick
E           Eb       Ab              C
It trickles over the mud straight to me
Gb       C         Gb           B
In desperation he scrambles and slides
  D                         C
I leap his flailing leg and dink it
G        Bm     C     G    G      Bm   C    D
Over the sprawled body.... of the goooaaalie
    Em     D
The net is gaping
C        Bm      A7         A  Ab7
The ball takes a bobble and I slice
Gb          C
wide of the mark
B               C
Everything goes quiet
E         Eb          Ab        C
Staring into the red dark of my palms
Gb            C           Gb     B
They launch a long ball into our box
D           C
Suddenly we find ourselves with a
G   Bm   C  G        G    Bm  Cm D
Cooooooooooorner.... to defeeeeend
Em          D
I am on the near-post

Somehow it gets bundled underneeeeeaaaath my feet
Eb           C       F          Gm
At the final whistle I am inconsolable

Man on! Man on!

I reckon dad is really disappointed with me
Ab            Bb
Come on! Come on!
Gm           Cm   Bb Ab   Eb          G
He tries his best to not show how he really feels

In the car home‚ he says "dust yourself down
