Chorus:

G5         E5      G5       E5
Hurry home early - hurry on home 
C5         G5                  D5     E5 
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon 
G5             E5          G5         E5
Hurry home early - hurry on home
C5         G5                  D5     E5
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon

     G5          E5        G5    E5
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini 
G5             D5          D5     D5       E5
A lightweight contender, like father like son 
    G5            E5         G5    E5
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
       G5       D5    D5     D5      E5
And he put him away in round number one


(Chorus)

    G5      E5            G5   E5
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating 
G5           D5            D5    D5   E5
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring 
    G5        E5            G5    E5
Some have the speed and the right combinations 
G5                     D5          D5    D5       E5
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing


(Chorus)


Bridge:

          G5           
When they asked him who was responsible 
D5
For the death of Du Koo Kim 
         C5
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight, 
A5   D5           E5
and told me it was him." 
G5   E5                       G5        E5
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact 
    G5               D5       D5   D5       E5
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back


(Chorus)
