                          C#
Didn't know what life had in for us
C#                                
Starting out at St. Margarets, up 
                     F#
there on that lonely hill
                    C#
I got my start in 1970
C#*                               
Moved on down to Motley school, 
                       F#*
down to St. Willies from there
                             C#*
The catholic golden rule got hooks 
in me
C#*
Sister Robad, Ms. Coughlin, the 
teachers and their authority
F#*                          C#
I put my fists up to them at every 
turn

I still remember those days clearly
F#     G#             F#         
Cannot forget my roots, or when 
  G#
it really started,
F#    G#               C#

C#*                         
Grades on to eight were nuts, 
hi-jinx, stunts and pranks pulled 
  F#*
out
                           C#*
Me and my cousin Bill, the terrible 
two
C#*
Danny, Joey, Robby, John, Saxon and 
Victoria
F#*                     C#*
Many a long neck bottle cracked down
 there

      G#
F#          G#                  C#
The weekend time seemed so **** free
F#         G#              F#   
If you had my back, I took 
       G#
yours, our obligatory creed
F#    G#               C#

Do you remember the tennis courts?

The bungalow or Harpo's bench

Do you remember jumping that bridge?

The risks we took and our chances?

Coupled with petty arguments and

We never broke apart, and we stood 
our ground
