Intro: 
C - G (x2)       
   
C                                                      F
    You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
F   C                                                           F
    
    you believe in or not I wanted to play football for the coach
F   C                          F
    And all those older guys
    F                                          
    
    they said he was mean and cruel, but you know
F   C 
    wanted to play football for the coach
  
They said I was to little too light weight to play line-backer
So I say I'm playing right-end
Wanted to play football for the coach
'Cause, you know some day, man
you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall
then you're gone to die
And the straightest dude
Ever knew was standing right for me all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
and I wanted to play football for the coach
When you're all alone and lonely
in your midnight hour
C                       F
And you find that your soul
F                     F G
it's been up for sale
And you begin to think 'bout
all the things that you've done
C                  F
And you begin to hate
F                      FG
just 'bout everything
Chorus:
Am                                            F       F-G
But remember the princess who lived on the hill
Am                                            F       F-G
Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
Am                                            F-G
And right now she just might come shining through
G
and the -
C             F   C           F
- Glory of love, glory of love
C           F  F                       G
glory of love, just might come through
And all your two-bit friends
have gone and ripped you off
They're talking behind your back saying, man
you're never going to be no human being
And you start thinking again
'bout all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it was
and all the different things you made every different scene
Chorus (FINAL) 
Ahhh, but remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And just remember different people have peculiar tastes
and the -
- Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
yeah, but now, now
Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
Glory of love, glory of love
Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through
Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
(I'm a Coney Island baby, now)
I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
and all the kids and P.S. 192
Coney Island baby
Man, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you
