Willie Maley

[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!
