You may be tough
                             D
But you'll never knock him down
A                                       D
He is a towering god but not our sacred cow
            A
He maybe caught
                    D
But never on the ropes
         A                                     D
He is a diamond cut for every man poor man's hope
 
 
     G                               D
Ah, he was always there to meet ye, he's the champion of the people
A                                      D
The first and last name ever to this day
 
 
 
             D                                           G   D
Now, I'm the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan
                           C           A
Fighter till the end, a legend he will be
   D                         G              D
If any man should ask, if any man could carry
D                                       A               D
I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

The hand of Begorra
                       D
Ah nothing more shall be
     A                                  D
He used to struggle in this shame for all to see
 
 
G                                             D
Ah, he was always there to meet ye he's the champion of the people

The first and last name ever to this day

Come gather yourself, drink to your health
         G
It's the one thing that money can't buy
    D                                                 A
But remember the loss, to the loved ones we all leave behind
   D                                                    G
So pass the glass the over, Sullivan just ordered, the glory days have returned
          D                   A              D
And let's live the good life, until the last goodbye
