Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The barrel  fire's fading,  my pals  are disappearing.
 Another  night is passing  but I  won't go.
 It's 2am  at Townie  and things  are going my  way.
Three  Buds, a glove  and a foot  of snow.
 There's two  little shits  selling joints  on the hill.
 And the kids  down the lot  are burning cruisers  for a thrill.
 See, we  had each other,  it was us  against the world.
Famous  for nothing,  yeah, nothing  was our world.
 Well these lies  won't save  me.
 Don't you know,  don't you know.
 From the times  that made  me.
 Here we go,  here we go.
 Fill 1:
 The courts  are filling up,  all the kids  are coming down.
 For a head  start on the troubles  of a long  night on the town.
 Yeah, thank  God it's Saturday  and half  my problems go  away.
Sure,  the big ones on  the way, but I  know how to handle  them.
9  to 3 on weekdays, on  the hour Sundays.
 The Good  Lord was calling  me, but I  wasn't up.
 From the convent  to the rectory  and over  in the sacristy.
I'm  a goddamn travesty,  and that's  just my  luck.
 Well these lies  won't save  me.
 Don't you know,  don't you know.
 From the times  that made  me.
 Here we go,  here we go.
 Fill 2:
Here  we
go!  Yeah!
Their  gang went my  way for basketball.
My  gang went their  way for alcohol.
When  we met  it wasn't pretty  at all.
 Still the bells  of St. Mary's
 kept ringing.
9  to 3 on weekdays, on  the hour Sundays.
Jesus  Christ  was calling me!
 Fill 3:
Here  we
go!  Yeah!
Their  gang went my  way for basketball.
My  gang went their  way for alcohol.
When  we met  it wasn't pretty  at all.
 Still the bells  of St. Mary's
 kept ringing.
Their  gang went my  way for basketball.
My  gang went their  way for alcohol.
When  we met  it wasn't pretty  at all.
 Still the bells of
 St. Mary’s  were ringing.
 The bells of
 St. Mary's  were ringing.
