Hero From The West chords by Smoky Dawson
Verse 1
G
C
Oh, gather round me cricket fans
G
and join me in a toast
We'll sing a song of tribute
C
that will reach from coast to coast
Everybody loves a hero,
F
C
a champion of fame
G
So let's stand up Australia,
C
Rodney Marsh has made his name
F
So let's hear him from the mountaintop,
C
hear him from the stands
G
He's a good blue -eyes country boy
C
with more than a million fans
F
The wonder of the century
Fm
C
to play a cricket test
G
He's a champion wicket -keeper,
C
he's a hero from the West
G
He's the number one,
he's the son of a gun,
C
he's a hero from the West
We've been through all
his matches,
astounded at his skill
G
With his acrobatic catches
like that ball was standing still
C
As we stayed in consternation
F
C
and cheered him from the stands
G
And wondered at his magic touch
C
like he had magnetic hands
He's had the batsmen trembling
and shaken down the sides
G
Just to see old Beck they're grinning,
seemed to hasten their demise
C
As they wilted from the hootin'
F
C
And the catcalls from the hill
G
If Lily doesn't get your hold back
C
She surely will
Bb
F
So let's hear him from
the mountaintop
C
Hear him from the stands
G
He's a good true blue
-moss country boy
C
With more than a million fans
F
The wonder of the centuries
Fm
C
And play a cricket test
G
He's a champion wicket -keeper,
C
he's a hero from the West
G
He's a number one,
he's the son of a gun,
C
he's a hero from the West
I guess if I were batting,
G
I'd be a nervous wreck
With Baggers Crouch behind me,
C
breathing down my neck
Yet if he were there I'd miss him,
F
C
with his somersaults and di ves
G
He brought a load of thunder cricket,
C
and kept the game alive
Bb
F
Solis, cheering from the mountaintop,
C
cheering from the stands
G
He's a group who blew us country,
boy,
C
with more than a million fans
F
Fm
The wonder of the cen tury,
C
the player free to test
G
He's a champion wicket -keeper,
C
he's a hero from the West
G
He's the only wicket -keeper,
no epic or a streaker
He's a number one,
he's a son of a gun,
C
he's a hero from the West.
