(verse)

      F            E D       F         E         D

The year was '67, the last we raised it up.

F                     E         D  E      F  G                 F     E     D  (intro bit)

years come and go, still nothing to show in these cold, cold hands.

     F            E     D      F      E           D

We blame Barilko's body on a decade drought

      F               E                D      E  F      G

but what buried bones do we have to bring home

     F E          D

for another chance?

(chorus)

         Coct->Doct              F         G          Coct->Doct

 It’s a                  blackout, but we follow along

F              G              Coct->Dcot

   We keep chasing the puck

F        G             Bflat      A

  ever whispering “Someday we’ll drink from the cup”

(verse)

we crept out from the gardens

into the neon glow.

a pauper’s chair to an emperor's throne still without a crown.

did we leave the blood stains, the crack of ice to bone?

as the winter melted away our thirst for glory drowned.

solo:

F G Bflat

G F D

repeat

(verse)

when the final score is settled and the final roar decays

did we throw our sticks in the fire or did we have our day?
