[C] Takes his corner and [G]sends for the bell

[CHORUS]
[F] Someday very soon the [C]world will know his name
[E] He feels with every punch he's [F]landin'
Another uppercut, a[C]nother man goes down
[F]Down to the [G]ground, he's still [Am]standin', [F]mmm[G] [C]

[C] It don't matter his [G]name is not in lights

[CHORUS]
[F] Someday very soon the [C]world will know his name

Another uppercut, a[C]nother man goes down
