Boom Boom Mancini
by Warren Zevon

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


Chorus:

G5 Em G5 Em
Hurry home early - hurry on home

C G D Em
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon
G5 Em G5 Em
Hurry home early - hurry on home
C G D Em
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon

G5 Em G5 Em
From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
G D Dsus D Em
A lightweight contender, like father like son
G5 Em G5 Em
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
G D Dsus D Em
And he put him away in round number one


(Chorus)

G5 Em G5 Em
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
G D Dsus D Em
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring
G5 Em G5 Em
Some have the speed and the right combinations
G D Dsus D 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,
A Dsus Em
and told me it was him."
G5 Em G5 Em
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact
G D Dsus D Em
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back


(Chorus)
