C          D
If I had a perfect day,
G                 Em
I would have it start this way
C             D                G
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy, yeah!
C                 D
Then I’d meet up with my friends
Bm               Em
Head out to the game again
Am                             D
We don’t even really care who wins, wins
One two three!

Chorus:
       G
Now excitement seems to grow
            C
when we’re hangin’ with the bro’s
D                           G
When we’re chillin’ and we pound
a case of stroh’s
         G
Now the game is cool to see
         C
you can high five on TV
D                     G
Count the riot on the one two three
G
Operation is in sight
         C
And the field is open wide
D                            G
when you break it then you know you’re still alive
        G
If the cops don’t make you pay
         C
and you make your getaway
D
Then you know
       G
That’s one fine day!

On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy, yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins, wins,
1, 2, 3

Chorus

G                  C
I believe it’s my god given right
D                  G
To destroy, everything in my site
          G                   C
Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
D                  G
The only thing it gets is more bold
G                  C
Drinkin’ fightin’ going to the game
D                    G
In our world it’s a way to stay sane
If you’re asking me
    C              D
To have it my way, I’d say that’s
G
One fine day!

Chorus

D                 G
Hey, hey, hey, hey
