C (8-10-10-9-8-8)

[Verse]
C
We were ridin out with heads in the sky
        F                      C
We were ten and twelve and thirteen
      F            C
We got BB guns and dirt bikes
                                  G
And heads full of crowded dreams


C
We always won in the hot suburban sun
        F                      C
We were kings of the west side track
      F                   C
These new kids over cross Slater Street
                                  G
Comin on like a heart attack


[Chorus]

Mama says
F            C
Where are ya going?
F                                G
And when will you be comin home?
        C              F
With my brother and my memory
    C         G       C
I’ll bring my history home


[Verse]
C
Sealed with piss and with pride through the streets we would ride
     F                      C
Over cracks in the dirt and weeds
      F                 C
We’d best be home by suppertime
                        G
Just in time to craft a scheme

C
If you’ve got my back heres the plan of attack
       F                    C
Listen up if you would boys please
       F                        C
We’ll hit these pussies round midnight
                                G
And roll off like a band of thieves

[Chorus]
Mama says
F            C
Where are ya going?
F                                G
And when will you be comin home?
        C              F
With my brother and my memory
    C         G       C
I’ll bring my history home

         F          C             G          C
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh

[Verse]
C
With quiverin eyes and our fear in disguise
     F                                 C
We gathered all that would burn in the breeze
          F                   C
We hit the asphalt howlin like hellfire
                                   G
Had no time to get weak in the knees

        C
Under the cover of night when the timing was right
       F              C
Like a furious army of three
         F                      C
We’d light up the sky like the fourth of July
          G
And race home like it was a dream

[Chorus]
And Mama yells
F           C
Where have ya been?
     F                        G
And where the hell are ya comin from?
C                      F
With my brother and my memory
C              G     C
I’ll bring my victory home
C                      F
With my brother and my memory
C              G     C
I’ll bring my history home

         F          C             G          C
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh oh ohhhhh oh oh oh ohhhh ohhh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhhhh oh oh ohhhh oh oh oh
