INTRO: D C G D (2x)
C G D
Tiger Tom Dixon had a gift from god
C G D
He could hit you quick, he could hit you hard
C G D
In a world where a man's hands are put to the test
C G D G
Tiger Tom Dixon's hands were the best
CHORUS:
A G
Men came from Boston, from Ohio
A G
Corners of counties that you'll never know
A G
Barrooms and pool halls with nothing to show
A
'Cept for the fists that they did throw
D C G D
At Tiger Tom Dixon
D C G D
Tiger Tom Dixon
C G D
He'd step into the ring, gloves tied on tight
C G D
After humbling a man, Tom would tie one on in spite
C G D
Kick back into a whiskey like it was an easy chair
C G D
Drink to anything that the Devil may care
C G D
Now Tom held the future in his right fist
C G D
But there was no good time Tom Dixon could resist
C G D
No neon in New England he hadn't passed out under
C G D G
No white lightning hadn't felt his thunder
CHORUS:
A G
Men came from Boston, from Ohio
A G
Corners of counties that you'll never know
A G
Barrooms and bar stools with nothing to show
A
'Cept for the fists that they did throw
D C G D
At Tiger Tom Dixon

INSTRUMENTAL: D C G D (4x)
C G D
Tougher than leather and quick as a cat
C G D
Till a young man one day is no longer that
C G D
And the dreams of those around him sink to the quick
C G D
When he slows just enough for them to figure the trick
C G D
Come a day in December the steely winds did blow
C G D
Into the ring a man Tom Dixon did know
C G D
It was himself without the bottle, and the dream held fast
C G D
He took Tom's dream with him and he never looked back
C G D
Tom rolled around that bottle for a couple of years
C G D
Till he was put in the ground by his own fears
C G D
Now all that is left is the story I have told
C G D C G D
And the dream that still waits to unfold for Tiger Tom Dixon
C G D G
Tiger Tom Dixon
