How’s it done?

Sure feels good to have him in my corner,
F#7                           C7
Hear his voice a-whisp’rin’ low:
Fm          C7       Fm       C7
“Remember, Big boy, You must remember
F
Stand up and fight until you hear the bell,
Gm     C7     F    Dm   G        C7
Stand toe to toe, Trade blow for blow,
Gm                     Dm
Keep punchin’ till you make yer punches tell,
A              E7          A
Show that crowd what ya know!
Gm                        F
Until you hear that bell, That final bell,
C7
Stand up and fight like hell!”
