[A]Now, I'm gonna win this
fight said [Am]Eddy[G][A]

But Butcher, he told his mates
as they gathered 'round
I got two [Am]good fist[G]s,
[A]and you know I never
Never ever ever been afraid [Am]of anyone
[C][G]

[Verse 8]
[D]And it came the night,
at last for their [C]meeting[D]
I can't lose said Eddy,

[Am]ing found [G]Eddy[A]
His own switchblade knife bur
[Am]ied deep in his [G]chest![F]

[Verse 10]
[A]And the law never did touch
[Am]Butcher[C][G][A]
And I'm so glad,
'cause I know so [C]well[G][A]
He was a born with a wild free spirit,
and he [Am]nev e[C]r[G]
He never [A]was the kind to live locked up in
some dirty stink[Am]in' cell
[C][G]

[Verse 11]
[A]
And the kids,
they still talk about [Am]it[C][G][A]
In the back streets and alleyways
around [Am]town[C][G][A]
They still talk about that cold,
[Am]windy Saturday[A] night[C]
That old Butcher ya know,
[G]he put Fast Eddy dow[C]n[G]
