From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini 

C             G          Gsus     G       Am
A lightweight contender, like father like son 

    C5            Am         C5    Am
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas

       C       G    Gsus     G      Am
And he put him away in round number one

When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating 

C           G            Gsus    G   Am
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring 

    C5        Am            C5    Am
Some have the speed and the right combinations 

C                     G          Gsus    G       Am
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing

          C           
When they asked him who was responsible

For the death of Du Koo Kim 

         F
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight, 

D   Gsus           Am
and told me it was him." 

C5   Am                       C5        Am
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact 

    C               G       Gsus   G       Am
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back

(Chorus)
