Warren Zevon - Boom Boom Mancini Ukulele

Boom Boom Mancini

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


Chorus:

C5         Am      C5       Am
Hurry home early - hurry on home 
F         C                  G     Am 
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon 
C5               Am         C5     Am
Hurry home early - hurry on home
F         C                  G     Am
Boom Boom Mancini's fighting Bobby Chacon

     C5          Am        C5    Am
C             G          Gsus     G       Am
A lightweight contender, like father like son 
    C5            Am         C5    Am
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
       C       G    Gsus     G      Am
And he put him away in round number one


(Chorus)

    C5      Am            C5   Am
When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating 
C           G            Gsus    G   Am
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring 
    C5        Am            C5    Am
Some have the speed and the right combinations 
C                     G          Gsus    G       Am
If you can't take the punches it don't mean a thing


(Chorus)


Bridge:

          C           
When they asked him who was responsible 
G
For the death of Du Koo Kim 
         F
He said, "Someone should have stopped the fight, 
D   Gsus           Am
and told me it was him." 
C5   Am                       C5        Am
They made hypocrite judgments after the fact 
    C               G       Gsus   G       Am
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back


(Chorus)
