The Decemberists - The Sporting Life Ukulele chords by Soundtracks

Chords with lyrics

G

 Em
The work of an errant heel

 C
The din of the crowd and the loud commotion

 Am        D
When deafening silence and stopped motion

 G
The season was almost done

 Em
We'd managed it twelve to one

 C
So far I had known no humiliation

 Am        D
In front of my friends and close relation
 Cmaj7               G
There's my father looking on

 Cmaj7                 G
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm

     Em
With the captain of the other team

   C
And all of this is clear to me

   D              C
They condescend to fix on me a frown

 Am     D
How they love

   G
The sporting life


 G
And father had had such hopes

 Em
For a son who would take the ropes

 C
And fufill all his old athletic aspirations

 Am        D
But apparently now there's some complications

 G
But while I am lying here

 Em
Trying to fight the tears

 C
I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger

 Am            D
Though I think I might lie here a little longer
 Cmaj7                      G
Cause there's my coach he's looking down

 Cmaj7                    G
The disappointment in his knitted brow

  Em
I should have known he thinks again

  C
I never should have put him in

  D               C
He turns to load the lemonade away

   Am       D
And breathes in deep

   G
The sporting life

   Em
The sporting life

   C
The sporting life

    G
How he loves


 Cmaj7               G
There's my father looking on

 Cmaj7                 G
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm

     Em
With the captain of the other team

   C
And all of this is clear to me

   D              C
They condescend to fix on me a frown

 Am     D
How they love

   G
The sporting life

   Em
The sporting life

   C
The sporting life

     G
How they love
