Chord When We Were Hooligans by Louis Dunford

Intro E E A B Verse E Sometimes I sit and reminisce, about the good old days I miss A B about The days I spent with all my friends E In fact, I’ve Come to realise, those were the best days of our lives, A B Ow what I’d give to be 14 once again E But still nostalgia makes me sick, I feel I’ve grown up far too quick A B But I can’t help thinking about Back in the days E When we were riff we were the raff, My Pals would wait outside my gaff A B The door would open and you’d hear my old girl say E Ow no he can’t come out to Play tonight, he’s lucky he aint dead the shite A B He’s stole another tenner out of my purse E And So all you boys can piss off home, don’t bell him on his dog & bone A B I’m swear to god you fuckers make him worse. Pre-Chorus C#m But little did she know B That when she was tucked up all so tight, A we roamed the streets until the light B Run from old bill all through the night, C#m Until The day B We were Delinquents little shits A we were the hood rats taking sips B From the bottle, C#m while we sit on your estate A E And life was so simple then, B E when we were hooligans Verse E So off we’d roam into night, we ride our stolen pedal bikes A B And who’s to say where we would go or who we’d see E But still a plan that never failed, get on the booze and off the rails A B We’d Buy a 20 bag of snout with fake ID, E And all our clobber was on form, we we’d wear the swing made uniform A B Grey tracksuit bottoms, Ralph Lorene were looking suave E And all the birds are tarted up, in Pauls boutique they’re Bronze as fuck A B Dressed like it’s prom night but there pissing in a park Pre-Chorus C#m And it’s only 8 O’ clock B But who’s to say romance is dead, A She’s in the bushes giving head B An older boy who stole the ped C#m that she adores B But how prince charming’s just a drip, A The smell of stellar on his lip B Her make up’s run Her tights are ripped, C#m her knees are sore Chorus A E And Girls were so foolish then B E When I was a hooligan Verse E So as the night would canny on, the joints were rolled the birds were gone A B As all the boys sat on the benches getting stoned E And as we got high into the night, you’d hear the sirens see the lights A B So it’s the cozers, here they come to take us home E So with a meaty on the way, we’d through the booze and green away A B We’d jump the fence, lodge out the park onto the streets E Ow hurry boys fuckin hell, can’t spend the night locked in cell A B Cos my old man and my old girl think I’m asleep E But what a way to end the night, Chased through the streets by flashing lights A B if you can’t have it on your toes your getting torn E And as the night came to an end, we lodged the old bail once again A B before my mum was up, I’d slip through the front door Pre-Chorus C#m Oh my how times have changed B So as I sit and reminisce A about those good old days I’d miss B So much has changed I wish C#m I’d not grown old B So call us hood rats, call us scum, A I’d call us kids just having fun B We were Delinquents who’d call C#m these streets our home Chorus A E And we believed things would be that way forever then B E When we hooligans *Whistle* E
