[Verse one]
F#m E
Well it’s another Saturday made my way to the ‘Gee’
D F#m
Still wearing the ‘Bombers’ scarf my Dad he gave to me
F#m E
Watched the young ones move the ball skill and oh so fast
D F#m
Made me think of the old days and my memories of the past
[Verse two]

Back when I was young to those days at Windy Hill
D F#m
Clarkie, Simon Madden, Bluey Shelton I remember still
F#m E
Stab passes from Birty and ‘torps’ from Vander Harr
D F#m
and listening to the analysis on the way home in the car
[Verse three]

Set off in the morning a long trip from Frankston Town
D F#m
To get the seats for mum and dad and to put the blanket down

Giants and the Kangaroos Swans and Suns and Eagles might just get the Blues

The old score board was the best part you could see who else had won

All games were on a Saturday with the races at Flemington

Highlights when you got home at night no satelite tv

One day of the week was special the footy was the place to be
[Verse five]

Pass the passion on to the young you just don’t change your team.
D F#m
Fathers played and now the sons the games as great as it’s ever been
F#m E
There’s footy all days of the week and now we’ve got a dome

I can watch from anywhere in the world it makes me feel at home

Now it’s Saints and Demons and Cats and Dogs
