[Verse 1]
F C F
Shane Warne, well known to history
F C F
Shane Warne, bowler of mystery
Dm
Whenever he walked up to the wicket
Gm C
A change came over the game of cricket
F C F
He had the leg spin, flipper and googly
[Verse 2]
(F) C F
He came on the scene, in 1992
C F
Those Indian batsman taught him a thing or two
Dm
"This fellow", some said, "He don't stand a chance"
Gm C
Soon he began to make the ball dance
F C F
In Sri Lanka, he first showed his colours true
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
(F) C F
In Manchester, England, 1993
C F
He bowled what they call 'The Ball of the Century'
Dm
Mike Gatting looked up, struck as dumb as a post
Gm C
And walked from the crease like he'd just seen a ghost
F C F
Shane Warne's first Ashes delivery
[Verse 4]
(F) C F
From that time on, he played with the batsmen's mind
C F
From Brisbane to Durban, he had them in such a bind
Dm
To go forward or back, to play or abstain
Gm C
Intensely, the pressure built up in the brain
F C F
And always, the chirping from behind. Ha ha
[Instrumental]
|Dm |Gm C |F C |F
Aah
[Verse 5]
(F) C F
And Mr. Warne on his phone sent a lot of texts
C F
'Cause he liked to have quite a lot of sex
Dm
Took a prohibited pill to lose his love handles
Gm C
Said, "Mum gave it to me", it was a terrible scandal
F C F
We wonder what would Warney do next
[Verse 6]
F C F
Shane Warne, truly a sporting magician
C F
Always played like a man on a mission
Dm
Each time he came in to bat or bowl
Gm C
He believed in his powers to take control
F C F
Even when he was not in the peak of condition. Aah
[Instrumental]
|Dm |Gm C |F C |F |
[Verse 7]
F C F
Shane Warne bowled with his friend, Glenn McGrath
C F
In Sydney, they took their last hurrah
Dm
Now, Ponting and Taylor and Steve Waugh all agree

To have two such men, they were lucky indeed
F G F
Shane Warne and his good friend, Glenn McGrath. Bring it home
[Instrumental]
