[Verse]
A
Willie Maley was his name
He brought some great names to the game
D Bm
When he was the boss at Celtic Park
E
He taught them how to play football
He made the greatest of them all
A E
Gallacher and Quinn have left their mark
[Chorus]
A D
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay
E A E
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay
A
And most of the football greats
D
Have past through Parkheads gates
E A E
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way
[Verse]
A
In 38 there was a show Glasgow was the place to go
D Bm
A model of the tower was footballs prize
E
England sent 4 of the best
They didn't meet with much success
A E
Cause the trophy ended up in paradise
[Chorus]
A
Coronation time was here 53 that was the year
D Bm
Another 4 from England met there doom
E
They said we'll have to try again
But like before it was in vain
A E
Because the cup is in the Parkhead trophy room
[Chorus]
A
And then in 1957 we faced a guy called Gorgie Nevin
D Bm
The game is etched on every Celtic fan
E
Wilson, Mochan and Mc Phail
And Willie Fernie scored as well
A E
As Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1
[Chorus]
A
So 10 years they had gone and so
D
To Portugal we had to go, to play the team that Italy
Bm
Adore
E
Celtic went out to attack
They won the big cup and they brought it back
A E
It's the first time it had been on British shores
[Chorus]
(Repeat till fade)
A
And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
D Bm
We're amongst the honours once again
E
The Celtic fans did proudly sing
Larsson is the King of Kings
A E
And he joins the list of famous Celtic men!
