Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]It was out to california
young [Dm]davey moore did go,
To [G]meet with sugar ramos and
[C]trade him blow for blo[E]w
[Am]He left his home in springfield,
[Dm]his wife and children five;
[G]The spring was fast approaching,
it was [C]good to [E]be alive.
His [Am]wife, she begged and pleaded,
[Dm]"you have to leave this game.
[G]Is it worth the bloodshed and
[C]is [E]it worth the pain? "
But [Am]davey could not hear above
[Dm]the cheering [G]crowd
He was a champion,
and [C]champions are [E]proud.
Hang his [Am]gloves upon the wall,
shine his [G]trophies bright clear,
[F]Another man will [E]fall before
we dry our tears
For [Am]the fighters must destroy
as the [G]poets must sing,
As the [F]hungry crowd must gather
[E]for the blood upon the ring.

[Verse 2]
And [Am]thousands gave a roar when
[Dm]davey moore walked in,
An[G]other man to beat,
an[C]other purse to [E]win
And [Am]all along the ringside,
[Dm]a sight beyond compare
The [G]money-chasing vultures vultures
were [C]waiting for their [E]share,
He [Am]stood there in his corner and
he [Dm]waited for the bell;
The sig[G]nal of the struggle of
[C]two men [E]fa cin' hell;
And [Am]when the bell was sounded,
[Dm]the blows began to rain,
And [G]blows will lead to hate [C]-- hate drives [E]men
[Am]insane.[G][F]

*chorus*

[Verse 3]
[Am]The fists were flying fast and hard,
[Dm]the sweat was pouring down,
And [G]davey moore grew weaker
with [C]ev'ry passin' [E]round.
His [Am]legs began to wobble and his
arms [Dm]began to strain,
[G]He fell upon the canvas floor,
a [C]fog around [E]his brain.
At [Am]last the fight was over,
young davey [Dm]fought no more,
[G]He lost the final battle be
[C]hind a doctor's [E]door.
And [Am]back at the arena,
the scream[Dm]ing crowd is gone,
[G]And death is waiting ringside,
for the nex[C]t fight to come on.
