Intro: G  Am  G 

Verse: 1 
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 


[Refrão]

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 

Interlude: G  Am  G 

Verse: 2 
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

Verse: 3 
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

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
