[Verse 1]

Was a pretty good game today, we could a won by two or three
Am C C G
But all of the lads were there, even cousins Joe and Steve

And old Bob sittin' on the end, what a foul mouth that man's got
F Am C G
When they missed the goal from the penalty box, I swear he was gonna get shot
[Verse 2]

Well thanks for my half time pie, cousin Joe says thanks for his scone
Am C C G
I didn't have a go at the half time draw, cos the odds were 10, 000 to one

But old Bob sittin' on the end, puts the fivers on each week,

And when I asked him what the heck he did it for, he said 'son, one day you'll see'
[Chorus]

You take the long shot, if that's all there is,

And put it in a very safe place where your doubt can't get to it

Cos once you're certain, that all hope is gone, a long shot is better than none...

3 nil down by the half time break, I knew we were gonna get stuffed

F Am C G
And their keeper ran out to the half way line, well should have heard Bobby sing
[Chorus]

Just take the long shot, if that's all there is,

Cos once you're certain, that all hope is gone, a long shot is better than none...

Was a quiet old game today, we haven't seen Bob for a month, and

He took his long shot, Took his long shot
[Verse 5]

Was a critical game today, well we got thumped seven to nowt, but
Am C C G
If there was a prize for the best own goal, I think we'd be in with a shout
Am F
But Joe was miserable as sin, and Steve said he's gutted too, cos
F Am C G
There's sod all chance that we can stay up now, but I said any old chance'll do
[Chorus]

Take the long shot, if that's all there is,
