The Unknown Fighter chords by Robert Earl Keen

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


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


F                      C
 Someday very soon the world will know his name
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
