Liner Notes

I'm from Canada and most people I know are Leafs fans. I'm not a rabid fan but I follow it. I'm more interested in the emotional kick fans get from following a sports team. I am a big Philly Eagles fan and when they won last week I got a real buzz off of it. The world looked kinder and positive. Cool! So I never thought I'd write a sport song but here it is.

Lyrics

Capo'd 2nd fret

(G) I been hanging around in the Great White North
(D) Eating poutine and tapping trees
(C) Things are pretty good for what its (G) worth

(G) But there’s a little black cloud hanging over me
(D) Days are dull, food tastes bad
(C) Somethings not quite right you have to (G) see

CHORUS 1
But when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Gonna be a big piss-up
(Em) There’ll be a great big party in the (D) street
Yeah when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Things will be looking (Em) up
(C) All our hopes and (D) dreams will be complete

(G) Everybody else has a winning run
(D) Thanking God on TSN
(C) We keep waiting for a season in the (G) sun. Sure,

(G) Everybody has to lose some games
(D) But 57 years is a long long time
(C) So many broken promises and empty (G) claims

CHORUS 2
But when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Gonna get all cranked-up
(Em) Kids and Cancon punk bands gonna will play this (D) song
Yeah when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Things will be looking (Em) up
(C) We’ll be back on (D) top where we (G) belong

(G) Paint myself blue and drive into town
With (D) everybody for miles around
(C) Grin ear-to-ear like a circus (G) clown

Get (G) “Keon Lives” tattoo’d on my ass
(D) Drop by pants to show it off
(C) Stamd there watching the parade go (G) by

CHORUS 1
But when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Gonna be a big piss-up
(Em) There’ll be a great big party in the (D) street
Yeah when the (C) Leafs win the cup
(G) Things will be looking (Em) up
(C) All our hopes and (D) dreams will be complete

(G) Feel a little better about the world
(D) Dreams come true and color’d blue
(C) We can live together and fix global warming (G) too

(G) My my it’s a beautiful day
(D) Snow is falling everything’s OK
(C) World keeps spinning birds singing in the (G) sky

CHORUS

(G) Shave my head and store it in a box
(D) Set it on the TV for the playoffs
(C) A magic talisman to keep away the (G) pox

(G) Try not to be annoying to everybody else
(D) Like Patriot fans, Yankees and such
(C) We want everybody happy not just (G) jealous

CHORUS

(G) Buy all the stupid merc they put online
(D) Wear to church and work and all the time
(C) Buy my wife some sexy Leafs (G) lingerie

(G) Run outside and roll in the snow
(D) No one will even think that’s weird, so I’ll
(C) Talk about it all the time to everyone I (G) know

CHORUS
