The Decemberists - The Sporting Life Ukulele chords by Soundtracks

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
