Verse 1:
BbmBbm
I hear a bell ringing like a funeral tune
I'm heading for the camels gonna be there soon
  EbmEbm
My brain says no but my knees don't work
     BbmBbm
There's a pain where my body was but it don't hurt
     F minorFm                 BbmBbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali

   BbmBbm
I was pinned in the corner, gonna fight my way out
There's some fool shouting: 'come on, run about!'
     EbmEbm
There's a voice in my head, saying: 'get out and fight'
     BbmBbm
There's a feeling in my heart, saying: 'this ain't right'
     F minorFm                 BbmBbm
'cause today's the day that I meet Muhammad Ali

With the help of rubber robes, well I'm running rings
