F Troop

C  Am   F   C


[Verse 1]
           Am            F        
I was only fifteen years, when I 
      C
met my brother
C                        Am       
He looked at me, and his face lit up
G
 with joy
C            Am    F            
   After the tears, he talked 
        C
about our mother
                     G        
   Held me close and whispered 
         C
‘Butter Boy'

C7


[Chorus 1]
F                           
I remember drinking wine, and 
  C
talking with my brother
G                             
  I had a drink, then he didn't 
          C      C7
think I should
F                                 
   I told him I could handle it, 
      C
and I said ‘let's get another'
G                          F     
Sitting in the kitchen, in Dight 
        C
Street Collingwood

[Verse 2]
C                   Am      F   
We'd take a walk to Fitzroy, 
              C
early in the morning
C                        Am      
When sometimes family life became
   G
 a strain
C                      Am   
We'd stand outside the cellars 
   F                             C
Greeting friends we knew were coming
                 G            
Grabbed a quart, and walked to 
          C
Charcoal Lane

C7


[Chorus 2]
F                         C
I remember sitting in the laneway 
with my brother
G                          C     
Sharing cigarettes and company
      C7

F                                 
Drinking with some friends we knew  
C
Who said they knew our father
G                          F     
Sitting in the laneway, my 
        C
brother and me


[Verse 3]
C                   Am          
Now the lanes were not forgotten
F                         C
 But the parks became our haven
C             Am               G
And everybody knew the parkies law
C                    Am        F
And I see my brother standing  
                            C
On that hill side, and he's saying
                G            C
F Troop doesn't ride here anymore

C7


[Chorus 3]
F                           
I remember dancing ‘round the 
  C
jukebox with my brother
G                               C
Dancing to, and singing “I Can 
     C7
Help”
F                                
Acting just like children in the joy
C
 we gave each other
G                                  
Dancing ‘round the jukebox, in the 
F        C
Champion Hotel
G                                  
Dancing ‘round the jukebox, in the 
F        C
Champion Hotel
