Live Tilbrook plays this with a capo on the third and it sounds like he plays the Ab as a Maj7 leaving of the bottom finger
Fmaj7          Em                   Fmaj7 Em 
We watched the game like we always did

Fmaj7         Em                 Gm    Dm
We seemed to lose more than we'd win

C              C+                 Am     A  
The ref would sweat as we'd blame him

              Fmaj7
And then the fights would start

               Dm
Out where the buses park 

   C                 G  
I dodged a few black eyes 

   Bb
Believe me

        C          Dm     Fmaj7 Em 
It was good to be alive

Fmaj7      Em              Fmaj7 Em
The tribal path led to the pub

Fmaj7      Em             Gm    Dm
Where we debated how we'd won

C          C+                 Am     A
And I'm outside the wayward son

              Fmaj7
And then a glass is smashed

             Dm
Some fella's on his back

        C             G  
And it all kicks off again

   Bb 
As ever

         C                 Dm      Fmaj7
There's no one to take the blame

    Bb        C    Dm         Fmaj7
As time goes by I search with vigour

    Bb      C          Dm      Fmaj7
The days we had seemed so much bigger

     Bb  C         Dm        Fmaj7
And everyone would point the finger

    Bb             Am
So we would do the same

      Bb    C                       Dm  Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em
To be mesmerised by the beautiful game

Fmaj7       Em                     Fmaj7 Em
My old man passed on the flame of loss

Fmaj7       Em                   Gm    Dm
The team we loved just gathered moss

C              C+                 Am     A
On a rolling stone you wouldn't toss

          Fmaj7
But if we win or lose

               Dm
We're in each other's shoes

     C              G
With blood upon our shirts

   Bb
Believe me

    C             Dm     Fmaj7 
You know how that hurts 

    Bb        C    Dm         Fmaj7
As time goes by I search with vigour

    Bb      C          Dm      Fmaj7
The days we had seemed so much bigger

     Bb  C         Dm        Fmaj7
And everyone would point the finger

    Bb             Am
So we would do the same

      Bb    C                       G  C  G  C   Fmaj7 Em
To be mesmerised by the beautiful game
