[Verse 1]
[Em]King[G] Cri[D]ck[A]et,[D][Ebdim][Em]
[D]King Cricket,
[A]Garfield, [D]so buzzes his name,
[G]King Crick[Em]et, [F#m]King Cricket[D],
[F#m]so buz[A]zes his name.[D]
Never [Ebdim]in cricke[Em]t history
[A]has there been a player [F#m]like Gary.
[Bm]He is the grea[Em]test of them[A] all,
Crusader of bat [D]and ball,
The [Ebdim]greatest all [Em]-rounder of [D]all [A]time,
Greater than [D]Hammond [F#m]in his pri[Bm]me,
Even [Em]the great W [A].G. Grace,
To Sobers must [D]lose his place.
[Em]The King of the [D]Game, [A]Garfield
Sobers is his [F#m]name,
[D]For cri[Em]cket and Wes[F#m]t Indies,
[D]Lon[A]g may he reign.[D]
A [Ebdim]captain terrific,
[Em]a ba[D]tsma[A]n prolific[D]
[F#m]An d a[B]s a[Bm] bowl[B]er,[Em]
ex[G]ponent [A]of pace or swing or [D]spin
A [Ebdim]fielder with t[Em]he lone chance t[D]o ru[A]n
They ask, is it [D]fair, [F#m]five men in [Bm]one,
[B]instead of [Em]eleven?[A]
West Indies field, fifteen men
[D]The kin[Em]g of the gam[F#m]e
[D]Gar[A]field, so buzzes [F#m]his name
[D]For [G]cricket [Em]an d W[D]est In[F#m] dies
[D]Nor[A] may he rei[D]gn
[Em]King Cricket, [F#m]King Cricket
[D]Gar[A]field, [F#m]so buzzes his name
[D]Kin[G]g Cricket,[Em] King[G] C[F#m]ricket
[A]So buzzes his [D]name
These [Ebdim]are the vit[Em]al st[G]atistics[D]
[A]Over 100 tes[D]t wic[F#m]kets[Bm]
Record test [Em]in nings
What [C#dim]a rout![A]
365 not [D]out 16 [Ebdim]test entr[Em]ies[G]
[A]5 ,000 r[D]uns[F#m]
[Bm]Figure St. [Em]Auburn at [G]this [C#dim]rate
[A]Soon we'll make [Ebdim]our update[D]
The [G]king [Em]of th[G]e ga[F#m]me
[A]So Buzz is his nam[D]e
for [Em]cricket and [D]West Indies.
[A]Long may he [D]reign at [Ebdim]Lord's
this [Em]sum mer.
[G]West In[A]dies seeming to [D]falter,
feeling [F#m]the sq[Bm]ueeze,
he applied the [Em]pressure.[A]
Resting the initiat[D]ive,
he outplayed [Em]Howdry,
[G]decisively de [A]priving poor
[D]England of victory.
[Bm]Another test [Em]century,
his [G]first [C]at Lord's,[A]
And inspiring Pud's and [D]Holford's.
The [Em]King of the [F#m]Game, [D]Gar[A]field,
so buzzes his [D]name,
For [G]crick[Em]et and [F#m]West Ind[D]ies,
[A]long may he rei[D]gn.
King Cricket, [F#m]King Cricket,
[A]Garfield, [D]so buzzes his name.
