[Intro 1]
[F][Am]
[F][Am]
[F]
Yeah this one here goes [Am]to Riversdale park,

[Verse 1]
[F]Avondale.
For all the snot nosed [Am]kids, check

[Verse 2]
This basket[F]ball court tells
my life without no [Am]more talk
Foot prints still in the floor from
where my fours walked
[F]Memories still in my thoughts
from back in [Am]fourth- form
And chalk still drawn up on the wall
for the score- board
[F]And in the breeze
I hear the old wind [Am]kicking leaves
As I sit in tree's,
watching little me sitting three's
[F]I smell the tar still burning in
the [Am]sum mer sun
And melting bubblegum mixed with burning
[G]rubber from my [F]bikes back tire
Leaving marks in the [Am]park
Car park parts had my name
carved in in bark
Blood [F]stains remain like my
first tat[Am]too
Written in the concrete with
a piece of bamboo
And I [F]go back now and again
To get [Am]up outta my head
And think about it, all the
hours I've spent
And I can [F]hear the ball
bouncing again
And some[Am]times I can even
here the sound of the net
Like 'hwishhh'

[Verse 3]
Just [F]walking through the street
With nothing on our [Am]feet
Just snotty little kids playing 5- on- 5
[F]Sitting in the dark
With the bums in the [Am]park
And the bottle on the bench
on a Friday night
[F]Chilling by myself
Just me and no one [Am]else
Looking at the world from
the three- point line
[F]From 3 feet tall
All the [Am]way to 24
This basketball court it knows
my life
[F][Am]
[F][Am]

[Verse 4]
Now as the [F]days flew
This new hoop is where we [Am]came to
Same crew
Same old suede's, but they were
sprayed blue
[F]Same view, nothing had changed
Just the [Am]chain's new
And the tape played break-
loose for us to break to
The [F]same moon went like the core
Every night [Am]just like a torch
While the old folks called their kids
in from by the porch
[F]And you can tell the ones
who grew up here
[Am]Cause they used to gear
'their older brothers
Used to wear like a souvenir
[F]Its like we do a loop
I'm looking [Am]at my new recruit
Playing on the same hoop
Where we used to shoot
[F]And now we sit up on the park bench
[Am]Sip pin' Maß, sippin' jack
Where we sat, in the days
Pickin' scabs
[F]Sittin' back in the pitch black
As I [Am]reminisce on every swish
Missing every shot I ever missed
[F]And I remember still
Ain't [Am]for got it, probably never will
The day I beat will [F]7 nil
Its [Am]real.
[F][Am]

[Verse 5]
Just [F]walking through the street
With nothing on our [Am]feet
Just snotty little kids playing 5- on- 5
[F]Sitting in the dark
With the bums in the [Am]park
And the bottle on the bench
on a Friday night
[F]Chilling by myself
Just me and no one [Am]else
Looking at the world from
the three- point line
[F]From 3 feet tall
All the [Am]way to 24
This basketball court it knows my life
[F][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Am]
[F][Am]
[F][Am]

[Verse 6]
I [F]went home today
And that [Am]court where
we'd, go to play's
Been bull- dozed away
Now [F]the only stain
From the, olden [Am]day
Are the marks in the park from the,
roller blades
And the [F]fingerprints left on the black board
[Am]A blank wall and a flat ball
But that's all
[F]There's no more lights
No more fight[Am]s,
for who's like Mike
And no games that go all night
There's [F]no more; Life
I pick up a [Am]rock and take a jump shot
That I once got from that one spot
[F]And I remember how it felt being you[Am]ng
As [F]I count 3 2 1
I guess one day, we all gotta
[Am]end the game
I never would of made the NBA anyway
[F]But I'll never let my memory fade
[Am]And when, ever I play
I re- member the days.

[Verse 7]
Just [F]walking through the street
With nothing on our [Am]feet
Just snotty little kids playing 5- on- 5
[F]Sitting in the dark
With the bums in the [Am]park
And the bottle on the bench
on a Friday night
[F]Chilling by myself
Just me and no [Am]one else
Looking at the world from
the three- point line
[F]From 3 feet tall
All the [Am]way to 24
