Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
G5 Em G5 Em
Hurry home early - hurry on home
C G D Em
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
G5 Em G5 Em
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini

A lightweight contender, like father like son
G5 Em G5 Em
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas

And he put him away in round number one
(Chorus)
G5 Em G5 Em
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
G D Dsus4 D Em
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring
G5 Em G5 Em
Some have the speed and the right combinations
G D Dsus4 D Em
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing
(Chorus)
Bridge:
G
When they asked him who was responsible
D
For the death of Du Koo Kim
C
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight,
A Dsus4 Em
and told me it was him."
G5 Em G5 Em
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
G D Dsus4 D Em
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back
(Chorus)
