[Intro]

*Whistle*
 
[Verse 1]
 
             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
Oh 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 the 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

[Verse 2]
 
         E
Oh no he can’t come out to Play tonight, he’s lucky he ain't dead the shite
   A                              B
He 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 swear to god you fuckers make him worse.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
                   C#m
But little did she know
                B
That when she's tucked up oh so tight, 
              A
we'd roam the streets till it was 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 hoodrats taking sips
           B
Out of the bottle, 
Bm                   C#m
while we sit on your estate
 
[Chorus]
 
    Am           E           B
And life was so simple then, 
             A         E
when we were hooligans. 
 
E
 
[Verse]
 
            E
So off we’d roam into night, we'd 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 fails, 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’d wear the sweet mate uniform
               A                                   B
Grey tracksuit bottoms, Ralph Lauren we're looking suave
            E
And all the birds are throwing up, cheap chardonnay in plastic cups
                  A                                   B  N.C.
Dressed like it’s prom night but they're 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 off her head
               B
With an older boy who stole a ped 
          C#m
that she adores
               B
But old prince charming’s just a drip, 
             A
The smell of stella on his lips
              B                   Bm
Her make up’s run, Her tights are ripped, 
C#m
her knees are sore
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Am            E             B
And girls were so foolish then
               A          E
When we were a hooligans.
 
E
 
[Verse]
 
          E
So as the night would carry 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
Oh it’s the scum, here they come to take us home
           E
So, with a meaty on the way, we’d throw the booze and green away
              A                                   B
We’d jump the fence, lodge out the park, onto the street
            E                                   E
Oh hurry up boys fuckin hell, I can’t spend the night locked in cell
             A                               B
Cause 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 chored
           E
And as the night came to an end, we'd lost the old ball 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 miss
            B
So much has changed, sometimes I wish
              C#m
I’d not grown old
                B
They'd call us hoodrats, call us scum, 
            A
I’d call us kids just having fun
        B                     Bm
We were delinquents who would call 
              C#m
these streets our own.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Am                             E           B
And we believed things would be that way forever then
        A        Am
When we hooligans
 
[Outro]
 
*Whistle*
 
        E
When we hooligans
