G  Am  D7  G    Am  D7  G

[Verse]
                                   C
From Louisville, Kentucky, name of Cassius Clay
D                        G
Fought my way out to see another day
                          Am
Seven to one odds against ol' Sonny Liston
        D                    G
Took my title from me, but I kept on my mission

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali

[Verse]
                                   C
No George Foreman ever called me a quitter
D                             G
No Viet Cong ever called me a nigger
                            Am
Threw my gold medal in the Ohio river
  D                       G
I won for the land of the free

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali

[Verse]
                            C
I know my destination and I know the truth
              D                               G
Yes, I am the Louisville Lip that you've been talking to
                                      Am
All my life I've been dancing, like a rooster I will sing
D                                    G
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali

[Verse]
                                   C
No George Foreman ever called me a quitter
D                             G
No Viet Cong ever called me a nigger
                            Am
Threw my gold medal in the Ohio river
  D                       G
I won for the land of the free

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali

[Chorus]
                        Am
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
   D7                G
My name is Muhammad Ali
