Boom Boom Mancini
by Warren Zevon

A augmentedA slightly simplified version of a great tune, arranged for acoustic...


Chorus:

E minorEm
Hurry home early - hurry on home
E minorEm
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
E minorEm
Hurry home early - hurry on home
E minorEm
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon

   E minorEm
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
E minorEm
A augmentedA lightweight contender, like father like son
  E minorEm
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
    E minorEm
And he put him away in round number one

(Chorus)

  E minorEm
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
E minorEm
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring
  E minorEm
Some have the speed and the right combinations
E minorEm
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing


(Chorus)


Bridge:

     G+G
When they asked him who was responsible
D MajorD
For the death of Du Koo Kim
     C majorC
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight,
E minorEm
and told me it was him."
E minorEm
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
  E minorEm
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back


(Chorus)
