Robert Earl Keen – The Unknown Fighter (Guitar)

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

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

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

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

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

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
