Tom: Am
G Am G
[Verse 1]
Am F
Friend of Jesus, tall and trim
C G
Deep and old timer inside the city jail
Am F
The unknown fighter steps into the gym
C G
Takes his corner and sends for the bell
[Chorus]
F C
Someday very soon the world will know his name
E F
He feels with every punch he's landin'
C
Another uppercut, another man goes down
F G Am F G C
Down to the ground, he's still standin', mmm
[Interlude]
G Am G
[Verse 2]
Am F
Small dark faces, smoke and bling
C G
The dark side warehouse has seen better nights
Am F
The unknown fighter steps into the ring
C G
It don't matter his name is not in lights
[Chorus]
F C
Someday very soon the world will know his name
E F
He feels with every punch he's landin'
C
Another uppercut, another man goes down
F G Am F G
Down to the ground, he's still standin', mmm
[Instrumental]
F C E F C
F G Am x2
G
[Verse 3]
Am F
Turn of fortune, God knows why
C G
The true contender will never make the show
Am F
Now the unknown fighter is lookin' in the eye
C G
Of the champion and matchin' every blow
[Chorus 2]
F C
Someday very soon the world will know his name
E F
The crowd explodes in wild abandon
C
He throws his mighty right, the champion goes down
F G Am
Down to the ground, he's still standin'
F G Am F G C
8-9-10, he's standin', mmm
