Guitar chords with lyrics

The Pugilist - Tom Russell
G
Roll out of bed, throw some water on my face
G
25 sit ups and run in place
C							G
Put the coffee on, but the pot ain’t clean
F					C			G
All you little devils of alcohol and caffeine

G
Handful of vitamins, drop ‘em on the floor
G
My ex girlfriend’s laughin from the ice box door
C							G
I put their photos up there, yeah we talk all the time
F					C			G
But they ain’t talkin back now, the pugilist is 59

G
Cold chicken salad, glass of ice tea
G
Phone bills, gas bills, electricity
C							G
And the mortgage and the junk mail, and one old Father’s day card
F					C			G
Go sweat it out kid, it’s 108 in the yard

G
Water the lawn, trim them old trees
G
Pray that your gut don’t fal down to your knees
C							G
And Archie Moore whispers in your ear, Get up kid, you’re in your prime
F					C			G
The Champ’s on the ropes now, the pugilist is 59.
Bridge:
Am
And the rock and the roll
Am							G
And the fight for your soul goes on and on
Am
You put on the gloves
Am									F				D	You’re always ready for love Pray your passion ain’t used up and gone

G
The harder we love, the harder we fall
G
It’s cauliflower hearts and old medicine balls
C									G
And back street affairs in all these water tank towns
F							C						G
There’s a might fine line between a heavyweight champ and a used up old clown

G
But this is Hollywood kid, fear strikes out
G
Miracles turn around one sided bouts
C										G
Get off the floor kid, the sweet science of those old romantic lines
F					C			G
Hey the champs comin back boys, the pugilist is 59

Bridge:
Am
And the rock and the roll
Am							G
And the fight for your soul goes on and on
Am
You put on the gloves
Am									F				D	You’re always ready for love Pray your passion ain’t used up and gone

G
Roll out of bed, throw some water on my face
G
25 sit ups and run in place
C							G
Put the coffee on, but the pot ain’t clean
F					C			G
All you little devils of alcohol and caffeine
