Boom Boom Mancini chords by Warren Zevon

Boom Boom Mancini
by Warren Zevon

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


Chorus:

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

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


(Chorus)

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


(Chorus)


Bridge:

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


(Chorus)
