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

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
