[Intro]

[Verse 1]
E
Khawaja loved the game of cricket since he was a boy
E
With his good friend Davey, it was their pride and joy
E
Khawaja-a-a!
E B7
He took the train down to the SCG
B7 E
He said, "Dave we'll play there one day you and me"
[Verse 2]
E
He loved his bat and ball and gloves, he loved his batting pads
E
He played a million weekend games in front of mums and dads
E
Khawaja-a-a!
E B7
Cricket lit a fire deep in his soul
B7 E
And every day he worked on his control
[Chorus]
E
Usman Khawaja soon he showed his grace
A
He knew how to leave the ball and how to set the pace
E B7
He set himself to conquer speed and swing and spin and seam
B7 E
Before too long he made the national team
[Verse 3]
E
Khawaja pretty soon found out that when you reach the top
E
It's only temporary, everybody wants your spot
E
Khawaja-a-a!
E B7
For reasons we don't always know
B7 E
Selectors say yes sometimes, then say no
[Verse 4]
E
And at the age of 35 when most thought he was through
E
He got some luck and got the call and to himself stayed true
E
Khawaja-a-a!
E B7
At the SCG he made a stunning ton
B7 E
Then backed it up with an even better one
[Chorus]
E
Usman Khawaja a man of good and grace
A
He knows when to take his time and when to up the pace
E B7
Many other batsmen love to land a blow
B7 E
But Usman's all about the flow
E
Usman Khawaja the boy's still in your face
A
To many you bring joy and make the world a better place
E
Triumph and disaster you treat them equally
B7 E
Uzzie, you'll go down in history
[Outro]
